New injectors arrive tommorow morning then install starts Many ofyou probably have the same story. Head gasket leak, send heads to magna flux and I had a crack between valves on drivers side head second piston back, That’s also the one that had the head gasket leak, machine shop guy saw it on the head gasket. Long story short, new Promaxx heads from jegs, all other parts advance auto. GEP block, I went with tty new bolts , would of got the arp studs , but the motor is still in and I did t think I could get the new heads up and over the studs Anyone out there use arp”s with the motor still in?

Can you not put the heads on and then screw the studs in the same as bolts...? That’s the only way I’ve ever done it (on other engines)
Arp’s directioms said to install studs finger tight and then place heads over top and then add nuts. I have a turbo motor that I’m going to redo next. It’s on a stand and I will use head studs on that one.

You sure those orange head covers won't shine through the hood and blind you at night? rofl
