I'm 99% sure I lifted the head in the car (or the HG was bad when I bought it).
What are everyone's thoughts on replacement?
I have a few options:
1: re-use standard ARP head studs, get new Felpro/Cometic 87mm head gasket, resurface head, call it a day
Pros: cheap, will probably handle the power fine
Cons: there is still risk of head gasket failure due to lifted head
2: new ARP L19 head studs, new Felpro/Cometic 87mm head gasket, resurface head, call it a day
Pros: this setup will probably never have issues
Cons: expensive, but less expensive than option 3
3: new MAP H11 head studs, new Felpro/Cometic 87mm head gasket, resurface head, call it a day
Pros: probably indestructible
Cons: easily the most expensive route
So, what would you guys do if you were me? I don't plan on ever running more than 25PSI (and I know some people say that, but I mean it)!
Also, what should I do for a head gasket? I've heard good things about the Cometic Phuzion, but it's expensive.
