adding twin turbo and upgraded injection pump .shouldnt have to up grade bottom end. but i am replacing head bolts with studs( recommened by shop). your thoughts on doing one stud at a time starting with the last bolt in gm torque sequence and working back one at a time.performance shop where i got the parts have done it before no problems save taking the heads off
If you're going to spend the $$$ on GOOD studs (ARP?) why not spend an extra $150 for new head gaskets and do it right? This isn't really the job you want to do half a$$ed, and this is a good time to clean the head ports too, and any valve work that may need done. Can't do that too well on the engine.
i mentioned the same to my son (his truck his money) just looking for back up thanks will tell him. guess i am on wrong page will move to performance page
The one in-one out method has been used by quite a few and with seemingly good success. I'll caution you on two things:
1) Connecting rod strength-kaboom
2) opening up a can of worms when removing injector lines-dirt and rust
I did not see where you were located.
Located Owen Sound Ontario Canada . Glad I Pulled Heads Off Right Bank Head Gasket Leaking
Did you find a pile of rusty residue in the injector inlet bowls?
