hi list

my son did less damage than first thot.

The water he sucked up blew #8 head gasket.

It blew out towards the inside of the engine and was allowing the cylinder
to draw in the oil
draining back from the heads.When the cylinder
would fire , it would let the pressure into the crankcase. This explains the
heavy smoke out of
the exhaust and the breather.

We will check the other bank to make sure both
heads were not affected.

Test show all other cylinders at 180psi.

Looks like the 360 upgrade waits until the next
blunder....
