Not as dramatic as some...But heres my last Merkur XR4Ti, 30lbs of Vortech Igloo cooled boost on a stock style headgasket. No, I didnt "lose anything" on disassembly. It looked like a steam engine belching out the side while it would still run..




So I then upgraded the headgasket, and pulled this off the very next day.




I wish I had pics of my old 351 that had a valve lock up in the guide at 5,500...
