Head Information

[hoverspeed]

Just wondering what you guys recommend as far as the HG and bolts go. Does anyone know what size studs or bolts, or what part # will work from ARP?

I'd also like to know the difference, if any, from my 535i Headgasket to the 745i one. BMP makes a pretty good gasket for the 535 motor and I am wondering if this will work when I swap in the 745i motor.

Thanks,
Robert

Todd had recently posted about new head gaskets and I'm sure he can tell you which ARP studs will work.

didn;t someone on this board use a bmp gasket and it blew like almost instantly?

Andrew, that was NOS m30 cutting ring headgasket that Duke got. Apparently it was a bit too old.

The best easy headgasket setup would be to get an MLS headgasket from Todd and combine it with head studs. Todd can supply everything you need. I'm not sure when the headgaskets will be available, but it should be soon I think.
