My head gasket went on Sunday it boiled the header tank, gauge never went over half way though? Refilled the tank at each stage, it did it twice on the short journey home (about 6 miles). Pulled it apart yesterday, checked everything, cleaned everything and put it all back together. Starts and runs perfectly, doesn't smoke, no bubbles in header tank and heater working as normal.
Now, when it gets over 3k rpm under load, there is a slight misfire, accompanied by a small puff of blueish tinged smoke and a loss of power. Before she used to happily hit 3.5k rpm (tuned pump, all 3 stages done with full width allisport cooler and silicone hoses).
I'm thinking fuel related, possibly filter or lift pump?
What do you guys think?
