What head studs and head gasket did you use for your engine build?

So I’ll find out tomorrow when they pull the head. If it’s anything other than the head gasket the car goes on an auto carrier from Idaho to SC. This has been the best vacation everrrr!

Should have bought a hybrid turbo.











Hopefully you get it back home and fixed!

So #1 cylinder has scoring. May have to get another Mountune short block. A reminder to everyone that when spending money for more power don’t overlook anything including the smallest parts.
