head gaskets

[black90lx]

What's the best way to get the silver stuff off my block and heads? I had the felpro 9333PT-1 on it. Thanks for any help.

start with a new razor blade in your hand and skim most of it off, then I use some wd40 and a green scotchbrite. When you get it clean, use a rag with brake parts cleaner and wipe till nothing comes off on your rag.

I used a razor blade to get the big stuff and a light scuff pad with brake cleaner.

Should I put them same head gaskets back on it? What should I torque me ARP head studs to? The car is going to have a S/C on it.

No, don't reuse those gaskets again. If you buy a felpro MLS you could, but not one of those.

I didn't mean reuse the ones I took off..lol. I meant should I buy them again. But I already bought them.

Yes...the 9333's are a pretty good h/g. I assume you have 7/16" studs...using motor oil I torqued them to 75 on the shorts..85ft/lb's on the longer ones.

The MLS ones are whats on my car.

Yea they are 7\16. I got the ARP lube to use on them. So should I torque them to 70 & 80, because I noticed you have to torque bolts more if you use just oil.

I would use them but I would rather burn a headgasket than melt a piston...lol

You'll be fine with the 9333's. They work really well and hold up under boost.
