[QUOTE="EvilTwins, post: 14305561, member: 62345"] Thanks for the insight. To be clear: Shortblock: Still in the crate. I've taken the screws out of the lid and side so I can rotate it no problem but it's still wrapped in the plastic and I replace the lid and side when I'm not touching it. Heads: Still in the boxes, never opened. I haven't assembled the long block yet and that's why I'm pondering which head gasket to use. I'm glad you guys mentioned this problem as apparently using 110 ft-lbs on the ARP 2000 studs makes a big difference (it actually sealed up a leaking gasket in mofasta's car). Damn I really don't want to put new rings in this thing, I don't want to disturb any of John's work... Damnit... lol [/QUOTE]
