That's part of what I think caused it. The only thing was it blew on #8, but the oil was in #5. But, it was still in the same bank. Plus, when you start getting to that power level....pump gas begins to have it's limits...especially combined with the oil issue. We couldn't hear any detonation...but that doesn't mean anything.

Still just trying to feel everything out and get an idea. I have the heads getting looked at right now. I want to make sure that that specific head wasn't actually slightly off in the area that it blew. I did buy them used. But with a receipt from TEA with all the work that was done, including hot tanking and checking everything. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
