[QUOTE="Roccafellas, post: 1545875, member: 28554"] So I took the heads off today. A few things To start the ARP 2000 studs that were put in by the machine shop.. are CHIT.. half of them I couldn’t get out of the block even with my hex/Allen head on a 3/8 rachet with a pipe extender.. I broke the tip off in one, and tried to get it out and ruined that one stud now I need a whole new set of studs unless someone has 1 stud to sell.. I’m so P’d about that.. Did they really over torque it? Or is this common. Half of them I could turn by hand, half were so stuck in there.. I know it says hand tight and some guys zip it down.. but jesus.. that was tight!!! Also, there was a lot of oil on those studs.. I cleaned everything up before taking the heads off and I know oil didn’t fall into those holes.. is this a sign of a cracked block? All the oil in the stud holes? Like I’d take them out and they would be smothered in oil.. is this normal? 1.) the injector tips have an awful lot of carbon and what causes that? Big PW tunes? 2.) the number 1 glow plug, was so hard to get out. I get it out and it’s covered in dirt..mud.. WTF? I remember putting it in and it wasn’t like that lol. What on earth causes that and why would it of bent? Is something inside the head breaking down? 3.) the piston tops are also full of carbon.. how do I remove it without removing the ceramic coating? Also what causes that? 4.) the cylinder walls have some scoring that’s light but I can feel it with the tip of my mini flat head screwdriver.. causes? Rings not gapped right? Is this a big deal? And can it just get a re hone? 5.) THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE.. my issue was blowing coolant like crazy, I think I saw a couple small small cracks in the valve seats I can’t tell (I’m bringing to a machine shop to flux them) WHERE does anyone see any signs of a bad HG.. this is my first time having this issue and not a professional so can someone with experience tell me where it looks blown.. tbh.. I was really hoping to see a wore out section... The head gasket was actual cracked in half, where the push rods go through.. as if it was cut with a pair of side cutters.. what causes that? But that area is not in the combustion chamber so I doubt it has anything to do with the blowing coolant correct?? Please and thanks. And also anything else you see.. thanks!
