Motor was smocking blue. Mostly when i slow down, shift down, so high vacuum, we figured out that its the seals, not Rings, compression was good too.
So i got:
16 Seals, y8 gasket, and ARP head studs.
1. But now i got to think, do i even need to replace the head studs and HG or i can get away just with the seals?
Its not a bad idea to do the HG, to make sure things are solid, but is it that necessary?
2. Anyone has a good write up on "how to do seals" or can link me to one, that would be great.
3. if i do end up doing the head gasket too, what would be best to clean the carbon with?
thanks
