The gasket is not leaking and we are going to remove the bolt and replace it do a compression check on the cylinder and the cylinder in front of it and if they match and look good all run it.. If not all replace the head gasket and install new studs ... I started the car with the radiator cap off and no air in the coolant car did not smoke and there is no water in the oil so the gasket is still good I hope lol ...If the head was warped the gasket would be leaking all over the place not just a little baby drip under pressure ..Also the car would not run and it runs pefect.. I understand what your saying but its my fault this happen not the head or boost .. I should have left the timing down and it would have never happen but then again its all a learning process and I love working on my car anyways.. I will have the head checked for good insurance but they were brand new in the box trickflow heads that have not even 1000 miles on them and im only running 8 to 10 psi... But thanks for the info ..P.S you never use anything on a headgasket you just install it no RTV or white stuff .. Your thinking about lower intake gaskets ..</blockquote>
