nice to see the "guts" of the powerplants we have in our cars!
I'm starting to think that I, too, may be suffering from a headgasket issue. I've been plagued with boost issues since August, and only found last month that the "cause" was a broken PCV check valve. Although I now get full boost, it does not stay on for long, and sometimes doesn't even come on. So I think another issue is it hand for the cause.
I also have been hearing a "roaring" sound coming from the front of the engine when cruising, esp. when driving hard. I have a snapped exhaust manifold bolt (driver's side top corner) that has slightly messy gunk building up. I also have been noticing my coolant disappearing quicker than it had been in the past (I have a slightly-weeping heater core). All of this is leading me to believe I either have a problem with the gasket on the head or the exhaust.
Anyone ever experience this "roaring" sound I mentioned? It sounds like rushing air vibrating strongly as I press into the gas pedal. Could it also be where the JT meets the turbo (though I regularly check those bolts)?
Is the '98 prone to the problem of the loosening of the head bolts over time?
Joe
