I am rebuilding a 98 12 valve. I have many questions to ask, but for now, I need to know if I should o-ring the head while its off and at the machine shop or not. I have a stock cummins headgasket with the 12mm ARP studs. The block and head have both been surfaced and measured and I am still within the stock gasket thickness. My machine shop guy is telling me that the o-ring deal will not last long and that I should just put it back together and torque it correctly with studs. He wants another $350 to cut and install the o-rings and will not stand behind any of it. I will be running a single large turbo with some large injectors from Industrial injection. It will be a daily driver as well with around 20,000 miles a year on it. Thanks.
