Question reguarding turbo build. -ARP head/main studs
Hi guys.
Basically I am in the process right now of rebuilding my ls motor for turbo in the future. I am down to the last few things to buy before I can start assembling!!! I am shooting for 350 whp with my set up. Nothing to crazy for now.
Two questions:
1. Do I need to buy both ARP main studs AND headstuds?
2. What rebuild gasket kit is good for a total rebuild. I just need a kit that has the gaskets that I need. I do not want to buy off ebay unless you have a recommendation on that.
One set that I have found is this one:
http://www.autopartsway.com/PartList...ead_Gasket_Set
And there is another set similar containing the oil pan gasket and what I assume are the pump rings. Total for the two is a little over 200 bucks.
I have learned a lot off this forumn and for that I thank you. Any comments appreciated. Thanks

OEM head gasket is best. Get ARP head studs. DO NOT get ARP main's, not worth the machining involved to make them work.

Not to hijack, but I used ARP main studs and the only modification I had to make was with the windage tray?

i think its one of those things where sometimes when using arp mains you have to line hone cause sometimes it goes out of round im just guessing

Ok thanks guys. I was thinking that main studs were a for sure that I needed. What other brand do I get?? If it's only small modification that I need to do to use them then I will do that.
