arp studs question
I was just wondering if any of you have installed ARP's and have still blown a HG?
|
Ive heard of a few. Thats why I recommend also doing an EGR/EGR Cooler Delete at the same time as you do the Studs.
|
Gotta make sure the heads and deck are flat. the 6 leakers don't like anything but perfectly flat.:argh:
|
I did. Mine were installed by the tech at the dealership under warranty. I'm going to redo them myself. Definitely need to have the heads decked for flatness. This includes brand new heads from Ford.

i hope the heads are flat, we will see |
Bring the heads to a reputable machine shop and have them decked no matter what. Ford told me my heads were flat and look what happened. Some of the Ford technicians on the other forums say to have brand new heads decked. It's not worth it to put a head back in and do all that labor and NOT have the heads decked.

So how much can you take off the heads?
|
by no means quote me on this but i think he said if u blow a head and he cuts em down he can go up to 4 10ths of and inch down...now its been a yr since ive talked to this guy so i may be remembering wrong
|
Maybe 4/1000th or somethin, 4/10th or 2/5th is almost half an inch.
