head gasket

Another great idea. Would you say it's a good idea for most any HP V8? It would seem like it.


Another possible solution,

In 'High Performance' 440 applications, we use the ARP Cylinder Head
'Stud' Bolts for the center '5' units to fasten the Cylinder Head to the Block.

ARP #145-4011 {We just order '10' of the Long Studs}, and use the regular Hex-Head Cylinder
Bolts for the Top and Bottom units.

The center 'between bore' sections of the Cylinder is the weak link in blow-by
and water seepage into the Cylinder.
