107062, all new gaskets or just head and valve cover gaskets?
Posted by halfasss101, Dec-05-07 07:59 PM
Hey guys, I am getting ready to do a rebuild on my motor here pretty soon and i was going to buy a complete gasket set from top to bottom. But what if all of my gaskets are ok that are on the motor? I have the valve cover gasket which i will change and the head gasket for sure. Do you guys recommend a full gasket kit or just those two if all else is fine? And what is the most boost i can run on a stock head gasket (new) with arp headstuds? I've heard that the arp studs keep it fastened down nice and tight, but would i need one of those MLS (multi-layer steel) ones for over 15-20psi? Thanks everyone!

greetings, I am not sure on the head gasket I dont boost. If you have it torn down might as well just replace the gaskets if the cost is in reason

If you dont replace the gaskets and they leak....Was it worth it?

always best to do it right the first time. what if you miss something and have to tear it all back apart and do it again?
