Haven't gotten that far yet, but on page 2, there's some interesting info.
It says that if arps are used and torqued just beyond the recommended torque (which I think is fairly common practice) and THEN the head lifts for any reason, the ARP studs are not to be used again, as they can become stretched and integrity compromised.
Has anyone locally experienced this? If this is in fact true, it could certainly be why my HG is going out again after only 10k miles. The head lifted last fall and when I replaced the headgasket I re-used the same set of ARPs.
Are the L19's really $250? Someone pinch me....can my mere 400whp 4G63 really need these?
