Hey guys,
Finally my head gasket took a shit. Took everything apart last night and was wondering what else should I change while I'm there. Injectors is a definite but I don't know where to purchase. New or Reman? Truck got 240k and I would like to drive this thing till 500k. The heads is at the machine shop get new seals, valve job, and resurface (yes I mention the machinist not to take more than .005 off.) Ordered a head gasket kit with ARPs from Creatures by the night. I am fabricating a new downpipe since its out. It is worth it to make the Up- Pipes also? Is there any gains with those? I also ordered the LML driver side exhaust manifold,waterpump, thermostat, new radiator (since it was leaking). Here are some pictures of the block. The sleeves got some weird marks on them also. Please let me know if its ok to go forward with this job.
