We think you need to be honest here - we are pretty sure that you used that hose as a handle to lift the head from the block during your head gasket replacement. I know, it only lifted the head out o

Set your waste gate to 10 psi and then you won't have worry about pushing out the gasket again. Plus, you will have less wear and tear on your truck and you would never have to worry about towing in

Been driving around for the past couple months or more with a boost leak. Got a couple weeks off between and dug into it. Put my test cap on and got the soapy water out. Found a good size leak on the upper clamp on the i take horn. No problem just tightened the clamp up. Start hosing the other and nothing. Started spraying the intake cover on the head and when the soapy water hit around #4 it looked like Lawrence Welk has having a bubble party. What I hoped was going to be a 1 hour fix went out the window. I look down between the head and the plate on the intake and I can see the gasket pushed out. Took everything off and find this.
Looks like the gasket seperated. Which after getting it off it appears thats what happened.
The bolts in that area were tight but not as tight as I feel I left them after the head gasket install. So maybe install error on my part. Though as I remember the gasket appeared fairly thick when I put it on. I was able to seperate it somewhat but it still appeared to be made that way. This gasket was from the Cummins gasket set I bought for the HG replacement several months back. Did not have the Cummins name on the gasket.
Lucky for me I have a extra one from a Fel Pro gasket set I bought a good while back. I pull it out and it is the same brand as the one from the Cummins get. Though it is dark tan and not red. It is also not quite as thick as the Cummins one though. They both have the name inter face on them. So I will keep my fingers crossed this one holds.
