Default When will they go?
7-8?
9-10?
10+

decided to blow my head gaskets... got my studs and my MLS gaskets itchin to be installed.

put my boost controller on yesterday... turned her to the solid position...

boost gauge went past 10 so i let off, really pinned me in the seat thou.

turned her down a tad, havent got on it yet, hope its around 8.

it'd be nice if they held together at 8lbs

pretty common on 5.0 HO motors. the stock headbolts are weak, and ive already retorqued mine 2x. and it has OEM replacement gaskets in it

also they dont have the best head bolt placement
