blown head gasket 130 hp yamaha

any ideas on what would cause a blown head gasket . right at the heat sensor alarm. had used pennzoil for the life of the boat and then switched to wal-mart super tech 2 cycle oil. ran it approx 3 to 4 hours and then problems. has anyone had problems with their 1998 130 hp salt water series motors. will be walking the streets waiting for a reply. the mailman

mailman,<br /><br />Typically, what pops head gaskets is excess heat.<br /><br />Have a good look at the cylinders when the head is off. I doubt this was oil related.<br /><br />Make sure both heads are retorqued after one heat up/cool down session after replacement.
