This is how a TTA sounds when u blow a HG

I had a similar sound when I blew 2 headgaskets at once. But I had no piston damage though. And it would smoke something fierce going down the road and oil came out of vent pipe on driver valve cover and went everywhere. What a mess!!
 
this one blew to the outside. You could still have a blown hg check oil for coolant an do a compression check
 
No Alky, with alot of boost=detonation. Blown headgaskets or worse. I know I learned my lesson.
 
I usually run race gas in that car at the time no alky ... forgot ! just had 93 and who knows how much boost stock gauge was maxed. All this happend near 140mph sounded like a shotgun

Must agree basic skills is needed or extra money, and it adds up fast, if you dont do it yourself.

Good advice Robert. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Respect the car and it will not let you down.
