i was using arp head studs and a cooper coated oem gasket. the problem was the head studs were put in using the ARP "hand tight" method. when i went to change the head gasket i got the head off and all but 4 head studs were loose. but now i got then torqued down with a new gasket so i should be fine. hopefully money permitting i can get tuned within the next two weeks. shooting for over 500whp.
