injector/head gasket job

[dieseladdiction23]

new to the forum, well new to posting here, ive always used the forum for info. i dont know if im postin this in the right spot, so i just ordered a set of bosch injectors and install kit, arp head studs, injector cup orings and head gaskets. i was going to order all new injector cups but decided to wait till i get it apart to see how they look. Can anybody think of anything else i will need gasket wise, o rings, etc. Thanks in advance for any info, i plan on starting this job next week

Might as well replace the water pump if it has a lot of miles....

 

[dieseladdiction23]

yea i replaced water pump about 20,000 miles ago, thought about getting one thats welded but ill prolly juss wait till it starts leaking again

 

[dieseladdiction23]

just ordered exhaust manifold gaskets, up pipes to manifold gaskets, and lower valve cover gaskets, see if i left nething out again lol

The front t-stat manifold gaskets, intake Y-bridge seals, turbo coolant hose, some GMS.....
Why are you not having the heads gone thru? surface, valve job, guide inspection etc..

 

[dieseladdiction23]

ill be inspecting the head as far as valves and valve guides, might take them somewhere to get inspected for any warpage. but im not replacing head gaskets because there bad or had ne overheating issues. since im in there changing injectors i juss want to go ahead and change the head gaskets and add studs. why do i need a turbo coolant hose and what is GMS. Thanks man for the info

 

[RKTMech]

Just maint. items their small and easy to replace, GMS (general motors sealer). Good luck.

If you dont have a blown gasket why not just insall the studs and leave the gaskets alone?
