[Supras] Question about head gasket (hopefully last)

If the cause of the blown head gasket on the 7M-GTE was because of
temperature differentials, poorly designed oil/water passageways, etc,
implying the head disfigures from the temperature changes, then installing a
MLS gasket would have no effect on this problem and it would still blow.

Yet, when a MLS gasket is *PROPERLY* installed in a 7M-GTE engine, it will
not blow, regardless of the levels of boost (assuming the other engine parts
can handle it).  A properly installed factory gasket into a 7M-GTE will
still blow from boost, eventually.


Y'all can theorize all you want.  I've built and re-built TOO many of these
engines to not have clearly seen the cause of the gasket failure - including
my own engine of 3 rebuilds.

Just my 2¢
