Hey guys so im sort of building my 7mgte that has a good amount of mods already done to it....
i recently pulled the cam covers to see if it arp studs since it already had mods and low and behold it did not
so i got a set of preowned arp studs on the way,the head to me looks rebuilt or cleaned or whatever casue the shits shiny as hell it doesnt have that bronzey oil look to it like most motors i pulled valve covers off .
i was also rummaging through the car and found quotes of a previous owner getting estimates for headbolts and gasket for the car
i also compression tested the vehicle and i have 150 all across
Never overheated on me no milky oil
so is it ok for me to replace all headbolts with arp's without pulling the head
and if so any proper procedure to do this ?
Yes i know i know i could pull the head with a lil more labor but then ill need a new hg and ill want a mhg and then ill have to deck the block and all that good stuff meaning even more money to spend this is a budget build for now
regardless any help and inpput will be greatly appreaciated and im sorry im a n00b
