Something blew.

So last night I raced my buddy in his common rail cummins.

Needless to say I got killed.

but not only did I lose I blew either the EGR cooler or a head gasket. white smoke. could be just the engine is cold.

but I drove it a quite a few miles after just wondering if I can hydrolock my engine driving it around.

so we are taking off the cab and doing the studs ourselves.

If anyone has the torqueing procedures and specs for the top of the motor and can send it my way it would be appreciated

Well the studs come with info on how to install them. If you like to race, Mustangs are the way to go and alot cheaper to fix.

White smoke says egr cooler to me. If that's the case check/replace the oil cooler. If it's the gaskets make sure a reputable shop checks the heads for flatness. I believe .07 is the max tolerance. Do a egr delete while you are in there.

The torque for the studs is 250 ft lbs
