What HG's were you using before? I'm using Fel-pro 8548PT-2's w/ARP head studs on my stock motor, 60mm turbo setup running 9psi.
Just got mine running 2 days ago and haven't test drove it yet, so I can't say they'll hold up or not.
Commetic gaskets, head over to your local Dodge dealer and ask them for a can of the spray on gasket they use on the SRT Neon's. Coat the heads and block let stand for .5hr and install.
If there are minor imperfections it will help but it will not fix a bad machining job especially under boost. If memory serves the surface finish should be 55 Ra or better. I think it runs around $20 to $30 a can.
You still need to ues a head gasket. The Dodge camp used it because the SRT neons kept poping head gaskets under boost this stuff help solve the problem.
I wouldn't bother with any of that stuff. Felpro 8548pt-2 or 9333pt-1 will work fine with a good tune. I know people that are running these gaskets with 18-20 psi running 9's with no issues.
well got everything back together for the most part lastnight , just need to put all the turbo parts back on and fire her up tonight .
hopefully all continues to go well.....
anyone know where to buy stiffer springs for the wastegate ?
