Lb7: Should I install head studs?
Well my head gaskets are blown in my 04 lb7,
I' m going with merchant automotives head gasket set and getting the heads decked and resealing the injector cups. My question is whether its worth installing head studs or not, I still have a stock turbo and injectors, I just have a built trans, airdog, and Robs tunes and will probably leave it at that because its fun and reliable. I' m considering a HTT 66 mm turbo someday because of egts but gonna stay with stock or 30 % injectors. What do yall say? |
Stock turbo you will definately be fine. Bigger turbo get the studs.
|
Stud it!!!! If u have it tore apart its no question!
|
I'd say studs since it's already torn apart and studs really aren't much money for a little piece of mind
|
I would never do head gasket/s on any diesel without installing studs at the same time.

The rods will bend before you need studs.

Why are you asking a Dodge forum about Duramax's LOL Were you not satisfied with the advice you received on DD? You honestly would be foolish not installing them. Unless you never plan on hot rodding your truck

Should I pull the engine to install the studs? If it weren't for the torque converter bolts I defnitely would......
