To fix it requires pulling the block out, so I thought it's the right time to throw in forged pistons, rods, head studs, and a nitrated crank.
So nothing bad has happened to my block, more like preventing it by tackling the gasket issue early. Car is still driving fine right now on the roads.

Oh, cool. How much boost r u runing btw? No boost spiking? Maybe it is just head being lifted for a short amount of time? U may justneed a better boost controller.
Did temperature go up?
