Machine the heads to make sure they seal up real good, while they have em tell em to take .020 off, this will give you a smidgen more compression and a tiny bit more lifter pre-load to keep lifter tick at bay as the PRs are just barely long enough, almost not long enough. Throw in a new water pimp while you at it.


I was planning on getting the heads gone through. I do not want to do this again. I am assuming the 6.4 stuff won't affect the computer?

Does anyone recommend a gasket kit?

Heads are just about ready to come off. Looks like there was coolant mixing in the oil as well. It had just started spraying on the underside of the valve covers.
