Re: Pushing coolant... New L19's or ring head

Yes, you will probably make the same power on 27-28psi. I had basically the same setup, but with a 2.4l on a stock head gasket, so it had even less sealing surface. I ran 32psi on it without a problem. Think of the head gasket as a fuse though, you might have been knocking and it saved your engine. Making sure the head and block are flat is pretty key. You have to take the head off, so at least get that one resurfaced. The blocks are usually pretty good.
