Head question

I am in the process of putting the head back on my B18c after picking up a built head that was milled .030. I will be using a 3 layer headgasket and stock head bolts. Since the head was milled will I be at risk for blowing the headgasket since I'm reducing the overall height?

Re: Head question

Don't reuse your stock bolts. Get some arp studs.

Re: Head question

^yeah thats true. who knows how many times the those oems studs were used.
i think its like only 2x you can use them before they lose there stretch
arp can be stretched 5-6x
