Message: [QUOTE="Old OutLaw, post: 654984, member: 5413"] when you get the block and heads cleaned-resurfaced, down to the bare metal, (if you aren't going to send the block out and get it re-surfaced, do it yourself with re-surfacing pads on a air tool), just before you put the heads and gaskets on, wipe down both heads and block with Lacquer Thinner, and do the gaskets also. most head gasket problems are due to improper cleaning, or fluids running out of the heads right after you set them on, and contaminating the surfaces before you have a chance to torque them down. you want your block, heads, and gaskets clean, and DRY.... and I also would do the studs...
