Those look promising. Do they need copper spray or do they go on dry?

By the time I get a job you ought to be tired off that thing and I will take it off your hands.......:biggrin:
Heads are torqued to 85 lbs. ARP Bolts.
I was running ALKY and just at 15lbs of boost with no knock doing some tuning. The head gasket hasn't " Blown " to where I am losing compression. My cooling system is being pressurized and blowing coolant out of the overflow. I am going to re-torque and try some sealant tabs before I pull the heads.

If it was me I would use studs, not bolts.
Re-torque the intake side after a few heat cycles & before any boost.
What's the difference?
Can you please explain this like i'm 3 years old? Is it necessary on all newly built engines?
thank you.
HAve you ever verified the timing on your XFI?
Good luck, I have never been able to get them to re-seal after lifting. Those seal tabs are for gaskets that seep coolant to the outside of the head & sometimes work for that, but will do nothing in your case. put new gaskets on it & pull some timing.
