#69940, "? about headgasket and bolts... not the usual noobie questions"


          

I got a mls headgasket made by victor reinz and bolts also made by them.. the gasket says its for Chrysler 2.0 Dohc and gives the engine code 54044A, just makin sure I have the right gasket so I dont fuck somethin up AGAIN. and the bolts are part number GS33341, I got both from Napa and both are made by Victor Reinz. My other question is I'm a 95, and I need to know which bolt(s) to grind down to make them seal better and it also says do not apply any sealant on there.. The first time I changed a headgasket i used a lil' loctite anaerobic sealer on there and it was fine, just wonderin if you all do.. thanks in advance... peace

the headbolts....you want to shave the rear driver side bolt down, and when installing the bolts coat the threads in some clean engine oil, torque from the inside out. i think you'll be fine with that reinz headgasket, when you pull the head put it over the block and see if all the gally's line up

I am pretty sure they are, but just wanna be safe like you said haha..thanks man

The one to grind is the one closest to the driver's side mirror.

If you want to be sure you're getting the right parts, order them from the dealer, not Victor Sanchez.

fuck ordering from a dealer, that's why they make aftermarket stores. I was just curious if anyone knew the part numbers or had access to gettin them and confirming for me, thanks though. peace

Just to confirm what you said, shave about 1/8" off that bolt.
