I've got all the stuff you should need. Be glad to discuss options.

There is still a good amount of the a-1's left if you want them. Although I don't know how much longer they will last. But they will no-longer be making anymore. At least until someone buys them out and starts producing them again.

On a side note I have no complaints using arp's and the price is cheaper.

What makes them better then ARP? What's the torque required on them?

I wouldn't say one is better than the other, it's really preference, Craig runs ARPs in King Kong n webb06 had custom aged n now has ARPs. Tensile strength is what your paying for.

Arp 2000's and a-1 1722's are the same tensile strength.

H-11 and custom age 625 are the higher tensile.



Thanks for the info.

Goal for this truck is a reliable DD, with possible higher hp mods down the road!

Know where I can get a ford tech book for the 6.4?

So what about pistons? Delipped? Advantages of valve reliefs?

Pistons, if you dot want them to crack and ruin a cylinder wall the de-lipping is a must. Coating also helps with heat and cracking issue. The valve reliefs help you from having piston to valve contact should you have a problem like valve float.

Aside from that there is no performance gains, all for reliability and keeping it from having bottom end issues.
