280tyler Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I found a '81 280zxt for sale but it has a blown head gasket is the motor a lost cause. What could cause the head gasket to blow? Would it be worth it to fix it? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 detonation/pinging most likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 My guess would be overheating. If it was modified then yes detonation/pinging. Should be just take off head get it cleaned and shaved put in new head gasket and good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
