Re: Blew the headgasket today...
when you get it goin try using a thermostat, the water may not stay in the radiator long enough to cool down, also use very little anti-freeze. they got this stuff called water wetter makes it run alot cooler. make sure when you add water the engine is warm and throttled up a bit so you dont over fill, good luck

Re: Blew the headgasket today...
Anyone ever cleaned out the block by filling it with muriatic acid? I know one guy who said it really worked.

That's been discussed, also a lot of EV8 guys run vinegar. Do a search here. The acid would have to be neutralized when done.
