head studs
I got a new turbo and thinking of replacing the head studs before the head casket goes. Question is if my gasket is still good, do i need to or should i replace the gasket when i put in the new studs.
|
what size of turbo are ya gunna run?
|
No I wouldnt unless you have already an existing problem. I assume from your question that your going to be running a pretty common turbo. I would purchase the studs and swap the bolts for studs one at a time in the same torque sequence.
|
Yep, doing them one at a time is the best way to do it. If the gasket isn't leaking now, don't mess witj it. I'll be doing the same thing with my studs.
|
yup swap one at a time on a good gasket and youll have no problems. i know for a fact that a stock gasket with studs will consistantly hold 65 psi of boost with zero issues. so unless your planning on going massive with some power you dont really need a ring gasket.

I did my studs without doing a gasket and have no problems. Just make sure you do several re-torques and take it easy for a few weeks afterward. What I did was initial torque, let it go to operating temp and cool back down, do second torque. Drive very easy for a week, and do another re-torque. Drive normal for another week and do a re- torque. After that have fun with it. Make sure you follow torque sequence on install and on every re-torque. Use the ARP lube!!!!! There is also no need really to go over 125 lb/ft. That is what arp suggests and they make the damn things so listen to them...

Studs are a cheap, added protection to keep from spending alot of money in the future, there is no need to replace a gasket. p.s my head and main studs are tq to 155

On DD trucks i only tq to 125, on comp motors ive always had issues with high boost trucks popping gaskets with anything less than 145. So i tq to 155 and never had a problem since
