Fuck it is almost at the stage of years between updates.
Well, i have just pulled the trigger on some MLS head gaskets. Ex 'Merica.
Originally i was going to go with some OEM ones, but found ( Forgot ) about an old site for orphaned car.
So these coupled with the rest off the engine should makes some boost.

Quick question for any one in the know.
Do i run STD torque settings with the steel gaskets with ARP studs?

Torque them up to the ARP specs. Then you have the correct tension/stretch on the bolt to keep those heads down!!!
