6.4 Puking

[Cory S]

i live in orlando! lol! so no cold here! but i am going with new heads,rockers, valve springs and gogo pushrods.im am trying to budget in a new hpfp while i am in there. but we will see. mine is still performing good. but with 170k coming up soon i feel that it couldnt hurt!

Valvetrain upgrades never hurt.

 

[Cory S]

yea then i start wondering about porting and an intake manifold from gogo

 

[B585Ford]

I am happy with mine but since I did exhaust mannny, intake Manny, up pipes, and the 71 all at the same time, I cant say for sure how it helped. Had it for 4k miles and so far no issues.

 

[B585Ford]

Sounds like a good plan. I don't have nearly the miles but I have second guessed myself a number of times over not upgrading the valvetrain when I did studs.

 

[Cory S]

Yea I took it out today to see what my rail pressure was. And it was holding 24,6xx so I'm guessing that's pretty good

 

[B585Ford]

Sure sounds like it. What was the PW on the program you were running?

 

[Cory S]

Not sure that was gear head hot street.

 

[Cory S]

Do arp's need to be hot retorque sounds like a huge pain in the arse

 

[B585Ford]

I never did the labor so hopefully someone can confirm this, but I am pretty sure any brand of stud needs to be torqued multiple times. It will depend on the lube and stud used as to the exact process.

I'm in the same boat, Puking coolant. I really should get a new cap, and pressure check the coolant first.... hopefully this weekend. In the meantime, I have ARP's are in the garage. Push rods and valve springs are paid for. Also have a 71mm tow power turbo in the mail just for the fun of it. tearing it down 8/20 can't wait to get it done!

Yea mines going in 2 weeks
