*Could* be a head gasket on the out here guys. Appears, at least initially pre diagnosis, that under boost it may be leaking into the cooling system which is causing coolant to come out of the radiator cap. Kinda hard to tell at the moment. Not running rough, not pushing into overflow bottle, will double check the oil tomorrow, temperature remains stable, just leaving coolant marks around the radiator cap.

Could be an engine out, and new short motor etc, which to be honest, is a credit to this motor as it has lasted quite a while if that is in fact proven to be the case.

Only started thinking about this tonight, but if so, I think i'm going to get ASG to take care of business with the following as some form of package and let them just handle the whole thing.

Can't really be too bothered getting into the semantics of it all as it still is a street car, but essentially I think a brand new EJ207 with after market pistons and rods, would be a baseline.

Beyond that funds would start to come into play with regards to cams, valves, which I may or may not do depending on the coin.

Other option of course would be a used pallet EJ207 drop in, but undecided on that.

Any advice is appreciated, budget would be $6-8K i'd suggest.

Cheers!
