Head bolts getting done....
Hey guys,
The head bolt job got approved by my local dealer and i just had a few questions.
Is there anything i can do while the motor is apart other than long tubes ?
What should i be expecting and or looking for?
Any advice or input is appreciated.

Cam follower replacement is standard part of the job. If they weren't going to, have them use the M159 followers. They're straight replacements and a better design. Insist, even if you have to pay for the parts. Also, make sure they check for cam lobe wear.

Did one fail?
Did you have a cel and coolant loss re: the sib?
What year? Are you under the original or cpo warranty?
They are doing under warranty and upon request?

Shorty header already got them from a member here for a nice price.
After looking at the factory manifold anything in better, arp head stud are over priced so im leaning to the new OEM stock bolt for now still up in the air.
Also once you run 1000 mile or so on ARP studs you'll suppost to go back in and retorque them.
factory studs are one time use, set them and for get them.

I was thinking of using the weistec oil/air seperator, but i want to see how the intake looks when out first. Will deff have my guy check for cam wear.
