« on: October 07, 2019, 02:15:47 AM »
Almost ready to put my heads back on....

What does the Ecoboost crew recommend for head gaskets?

OEM works fine.  You might want to get ARP fasteners tho.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I ordered the ARP head stud kit PN 153-4303
Hopefully I can keep the heads from lifting this time. :)

I am surprised that Fel-Pro does not make a head gasket for this application.
