Blown head right side
I shot a rocket arm out the passenger side head, the cams and head were damaged nothing else. If I replaced just that side would it be okay or would I have to do both sides ?

Sounds like a good time to get some headwork done by FBM or MAP, i think they have a few stages of headwork. If thats an option so then both sides will be repleaced. If OEM, just replace the passenger side.

What is a "rocket arm" ....... ?? Is (was) your engine boosted .. ?? I reckon whether or not the other side was messed up, would depend on what it looks like after the engine is torn down. What were you doing when it came unglued ..... ?? humfrz |

It was boosted for 10k miles, all happened after I took the kit off. oil pressure light came on once while driving, than ended up shooting the rocker arm out. I already ripped the motor out, and the head it's got damage Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
