How tight did you torque down your head?
hey Gnarly another thing i do for these types of situations is use Qtips to clean the threads. spray your cleaner then spin the qtips around and repeat with new qtips until clean.might be worth a shot? CB
So far I’m not impressed the ARP Stud Kit. One concern I have is if and when I want to remove the head, the studs will have to be removed. I cannot get the head off with the studs in..............
Ive had zero issues with arp studs, installing and removing. Multiple heads removals too... torque to there spec. Remember the torque load is on the stud...
They have the allen in the end. Cross thread is better than locktite...
Hey Benjamin!!Is that you from a blast from the past Off-Road.com??Gnarls.
Ya, it's me. Right on time.
OMG!! That was a loooooonggg time ago!! Good times on that site!!I still have your GM Ignitor sheet!!How are you doing?I'm good. Had Heart failure in march of 18, got a fancy pump installed(LVAD). Cant really work on my rigs anymore, so I turned to the NonSAS dark side and bought a 2020 Tacoma. Still have my 88 Fj62, but will most likely sell it soon. Moved to Nevada, and I miss Marlin's roundUps.Hope all is good with you too!Gnarls.
That separate ring it exactly what peeled off on my DNJ head gasket.
Why anyone's using anything other than an oem for stock builds continues to puzzle me.
Because people are cheap.
Actually, that statement is pure male bovine feces! So I will choose a word with a slightly less negative connotation and implied slanderous description of "people" who choose to buy something other than an OEM head gasket.Let's use the word frugal. You can pick a word: synonyms:thrifty · sparing · economical · saving · careful · cautious · prudent · provident · unwasteful · sensible · canny · abstemious · abstinent · austere · self-denying · ascetic ·Some of the very smartest, most generous, highly skilled, and most successful people I know often display a tad of frugality. Frugality is the quality of being frugal, sparing, thrifty, prudent or economical in the consumption of consumable resources such as food, time or money, and avoiding waste, lavishness or extravagance.Interestingly, there are studies in human nature and current sociology that shows humans intuitively act the opposite of a “cheap” nature.People do not have a natural tendency to be frugal, but actually are more spendy and prefer to enjoy the acquisition of nice things and indulging in the finer things in life.So people are NOT cheap.However, some people are ignorant of the facts and truth. Gnarls.
Your assignment: Since you took exception to the word "cheap" with the intended meaning that people would rather risk an inferior part than pay the cost of OEM when the cost (e.g. time, labor, money) of failure is many times the difference in the cost between the aftermarket and OEM parts, your assignment is to find a softer word for "ignorant" as that most certainly has a negative connotation.
