Has anyone been able to remove the stock headbolts without having the head move. Want to put my ARPs in but don't feel like replacing the HG since it's still ok.

 

there`s two drown pin between the head and the block.
it shouldn`t move at all as long as you don`tlift it.
but i think oil and coolent will sweep throught the gasket surface once the bolts loosen.

 

shitty so basically when I remove the stockers the head won't move but the seal will crack

 

what seal?

You know you dont have to entirely remove all of the stockers before installing the ARP's

Remove one stocker, slightly torque down an ARP in its place, just go in a criss cross type pattern

Dont see why it wouldnt work

 

just wait til the hg blows, then put the arps in with a new hg, if it doens't blow, you don't need the arp's anyways

 

WOT,

where in the world do you get your info from. What seal proably the most important one on your motor geez. If you dont know what your talking about please dont ------ false information and have ignorance ------.

 

exactly LOL

 

hmm I guess I could do this too :P
