Head Gasket

ive heard not to reuse the stockers because the threads stretch. also arp have a higher tensile strength. it is suggested to torque to arp specifications when using their hardware, which is like 80ish (dont have my sheet in front of me). also you may want to have the head torqued to 70ish

side note: did you read of the cause of the hg problems? also how did you prep the motor when you did your mhg?

Whatever you do. You replace the bolts or studs just 1 at a time.

Leaving all of the others alone until it's there turn.

when you say something like this, you should really give a reason as to why, most importantly im just curious why lol

Because if you do not do them 1 at a time and you just go about it how ever you want.

There will be too much resistance on the alluminum head and you"ll be machinging it all over again.
