BOV stall

no it was a metal clicking coming from the engine. turns out that my head gasket lasted even less time than i expected it would with the upgraded turbo.

stock head gasket and a 60-1 turbo don't mix, which i already knew. i was just trying to hold out for a few months. stupid me. anyway the clicking was the result of the coolant washing away the oil, in other words metal to metal, no lubrication.

so i'm off to install a MHG with ARP studs.
