Default My cummins thinks its a ford
I guess it's been hanging around the 6.0s too long...

I just blew my 3rd headgasket....

I would've thought the extra grand for head studs and machine work would've gaur entered this from happening....

Not sure on the boost no gauges yet

And yeah arp headstuds.

First headgasket just happened. 2nd was because the head never got machined flat I think. And 3rd was from not retorquing the studs after turning up the star wheel

I think I've got some different gov springs I was able to run 3500 rpm. No fuel plate either.


Thought about some full cut DVs to
