Thanks all call

 

Dang 700 bucks for the bolts.... Guess I should have linexed my jeep tub at the same time as fixing my blown head

 

My Jeep doesn't have a turbo or supercharger, but I have had experience with turbocharged vehicles in the past so here's my 2 cents:

If it were me I'd stick with the OEM head bolts and gasket. If you run into another over-boost incident you want those to be the "weak link" in the system. They're cheaper to replace than heads or pistons. If you don't have anymore over-boost issues, then you should be fine and didn't need to spend the extra money anyway.

 

Ok thanks bro yeah before I was really hitting it hard trying to see how much boost I could squeeze out now I just want to repair it and own the trails again.

 

Just in case anyone ever runs into this thread, I spoke with arp and will get a quote for custom studs. I will let you guys know how much cheaper it is to buy strait from the source.

 

Awesome. Let us know.

 

That is flat out stupid. Falls in line with all of their other over priced kits.

 

Honestly, taking the engine apart Tuesday and than will be contacting arp. They said they will get back to me same day after I fill out some page in there catalog
