Hello there, new to Diesel Bombers. I rebuilt my 12v recently. About 3000 miles on the new motor. New bearings, pistons, Hamilton cam, valve springs, ect. Anyway it was a Saturday and we were putting the head on and they sent the wrong head gasket being a marine one that was thicker. We needed it done and my boss who helped me build as i hadn't rebuilt a diesel before, and i just started working at a diesel shop had me run to Napa and get a HG and said it would be fine. So we put that on along with ARP studs. I'm just going to go with a new t4 nongated sxe and i was wondering if y'all think it will last. I'll be running upwards of 50 psi and don't want to pop the HG. I was told it would be fine by all the guys at the shop but for some reason it's always in the back of my mind. May be because i was always blowing head gaskets on my turbo 4 cylinder cars. So what do you guys think?

 

Have you ever read the labels on oem cummins stuff and where its made. Its all about the same anymore. You will be fine.

 

Okay, i have not. Thank you for your reply. And ok i figured just needed some reassurance i guess
. Thanks
