blew a head gasket couple months ago replaced it....put arp studs in........shut truck off last night heard some bubbling noise looked in coolant resovoir...it was overfilled and had some bubbles.......this is the second head gasket ive blown..im running H&S xrt on the 120 tune with aggressive turbo tunning and thats all....what do i do next can i fire ring this thing or what???

 

durn

 

will a heavy duty marine head gasket work like on the 5.9l.

 

sorry to hear that bud good luck with the fix

 

does anyone know if you can fire ring these heads

 

I heard rumors that you can but dont know for sure compcowboy should now pm him

 

i don't see why you can't O-ring the head..... if it were me i would see if the machinist could cut the block while he is at it and O-ring it too. that is what i plan on doing when mine finally lets go..... (knock on wood)

 

well got my Arp 625's today guess the cheaper version i bought th first time wasnt strong enough...so puttin it back together tomorrow so we will see

 

so now im confused,,i thought if you blew the head gasket you would have noticable oil comming from the head area? what does bubbling coolant in the coolant rez have to do with it,,please explain???

 

If your popping head gaskets that easily, I would suspect that either the block deck or the head face isn't flat. Even the "cheap" ARP's should be able to hold way more than you are throwing to them.

When a head gasket fails, it is coolant, not oil, that is released, usually right into the cylinder/combustion chamber of the piston. Bubbling coolant indicates exhaust gasses being pumped into the cooling system via the breached head gasket.
