Crossing my fingers for you buddy, I'm sure it's the hose...
I dont think its a head gasket either. That was the first thing I did, I drained the oil, No coolant was mixed in with the oil. Also the coolant pours out as soon as you pour it in the coolant meaning that its not even getting to the water pump or engine. I hope its just a hose on the rear. They will have the engine pulled out this afternoon so I will hopefully get all the details... I have my fingers crossed its something not too expensive because I have a ton of other bills. When it rains it pours!

Thats what I thought. The coolant poored out like a hose came off, the is no oil in the coolant either. I will be going to the shop today and my shop will pressurize the system so I can see where the HG shifted.

What kind of Studs did you have on that? ARP? Does not make sense, 1.6 is not even enough to lift them with good studs.

It is an EPL Tippy car. I believe he said he did brake boost, but THEN downshifted to 1st? Maybe it overevved and overpressurized and blew stuff apart...

Just wondering what measurements they took as far as re-torquing like Tony said and what they also did to prevent horizontal movement. Where are you gonna have the work done? Hopfeully someone reputable. GL

Its got the new A28 Tial turbos and meth inj.
Nearly 100% of the time, studs that that haven't been properly installed, torqued, and retourqued again will result in lifted or shifted heads....even if the manufacture instructions state that there is no need for re torquing.
