Message: [QUOTE="ghohouston, post: 1411531, member: 9421"] The 220kish pmr motor im getting ready to stab in my obs, i got from a local buddy on here for free, has several of the head bolts removed, all the lower ones on the passenger side i believe. I am not extremely worried about popping a head gasket or that the gasket has been compromised, but can anyone say without a doubt the gasket has been disturbed? I'd rather not double work myself, but this wouldn't make or break me if the gasket did go. Im not sure why they were removed in the first place, doesn't really matter. I don't have to have this truck running at the moment, but would be nice to have it back in the next few months, it's been down almost a year. I can afford studs, new head gaskets, etc, but this truck will likely just have a tuner on it, no big injectors in the forseable future, and i am trying not to sink a ton of money into anything that isn't necessary right now. If i pull the head off, theres no way im putting it back on without sending it to the machine shop for a valve job, and at that point, why not send the other head as well, and the bill just adds up.
