Not the ideal scenario, but the compression test was all 190's, I got to hear it run, it was $500 and I repaired it properly.

I would have raged hard if one of the $2000+ S52s I was shopping had given me this sort of grief

He has wept with a number of us who have wrecked our boosted engines.

There is also a stage 3 clutch listed in the ad too which is possible evidence. But mostly its just his spidey-sense tingling.

he posted it on facebook as well. he has more info there: "It was boosted for ~9k miles on a very mild tune making 340whp ish. It was very healthy and ran great up until the head gasket went between cylinders 4 & 5."

Reminds me of this:

Picked up a set of style 42s for $50. They are ugly,but they will clean up with some work refinishing

Though about those myself until I rembered how much it sucked to refinish a set of style 5's...good score either way!

Considering what they are selling for in good condition (check out ebay)... I couldnt pass it up.

I work in the swimming pool industry. I've got nothing but time in the winter to work on this type of stuff...it helps me keep my sanity
