You're on to a good start, but I have a feeling you might need to do headgaskets too. If you have the money, now is the time. Get the heads decked and put some ARP head studs in too. Then it should be pretty solid.

OEM gaskets work very well when the heads are flat.

OEM gaskets, or you can use the Victor Reinz, which are the same as the black onyx gaskets sold across the web. Except black onyx are around $175, and the VR gaskets are around $100.

It's not so much the quality of the gasket in this case, since these three offerings (2 actually since the BO are the same as the VR) are good gaskets, it's just a matter of having the heads/block flat for a good mating surface. Really important with this less than desirable 4 bolts per cylinder design.

For the love of God do not buy anything from Cobbs. They are one of the shittiest company known to the diesel community.
Have you gotten your parts yet, Smokin?

Well good luck. Let us know when you get the first part of your order. Also let us know when you get the rest of the order. And when you have to send something back. Lol
