    LB7: To do head studs or not?

    This is not good..... the rear piston on the passenger side is all pitted up. What do I do now?

    LB7: S366 install kit.

    They don't say anything about a retorque but a guy at alligator performance said I needed to, that's why I asked, I thought not!

    Made a few T&T passes yesterday .

    If I were you I would only have like four wingnuts on the valve covers as often as you have them off. lol

    ATS manifolds?

    Are they worth it? I was considering them since my truck is apart already.

    Thanks man! It's been all good so far except for there is no sign of a leak in the gaskets. Hopefully I don't need a head because I want it running by Saturday evening.

    head gaskets...fix or not

    Just pull the fenderwells and the grill so you can kneel on the bumper and start taking off everything in the road, directions are for *****s. lol I will say there are a crazy amount of parts and fuel lines and little brackets to find a home for!

    These aren't in order but you get the idea.

    Yea, they are decking the heads, pressure testing them and resealing the cups for $270. I guess that's a fair price? He said he's done quite a few if these heads and said they take special sealant on the cups so I figure he knows what he's doing. Btw, thanks for all the advice and thanks...

    I just gotta pimp Alligator Performance a little, I called them yesterday at 5pm and ordered my parts, just got home and the head studs are already here!!!!!

    LB7: To do head studs or not?

    No time at all really, I ordered the parts yesterday afternoon and pulled the heads that evening and I drove it every day so its not like it sat a week and puddled. Come to think of it I bet its just coolant the leaked in when I lifted the head off. What has me a little worried is that the head...

    LB7: To do head studs or not?

    I tried that but there are studs in the head and you cant pull the manifold back far enough, it sucked cause those bolts are a b!tch.. Yea I'm talking about the white splotch, its like the carbon was cleaned off at that spot on most of the pistons in the drivers side.

    LB7: To do head studs or not?

    All the pistons on the drivers side look like this, coolant right?

    LB7: To do head studs or not?

    Drivers side head off in 4 hours and 3 bolts left in passenger side! Probably could do it in less but my buddy that has done them before couldn't come. I want to do a turbo now because its so easy, price on a 66 please if I can get one buy Saturday. Shipped to 21783.
