Stock head gasket with ARP

[BOOSTEDMKII904]

I know this has probably been talked about time and time again. I searched but did not come across anything, but anyway my stock head gasket is on its way out. So I was just going to put a new toyota head gasket with arp's studs in im not looking to go over 400whp for a long time so I think that will be totally fine just wanted to make sure.

Yep shouldn't be an issue. Follow the TSRM torque sequence and use ARP's torque specs.

There's a member here that recently blew his stock style HG running right at 400rwhp.

If you are taking out the block and having everything machined by a shop, then go mhg.

Otherwise, go OEM and keep your tune safe.

I'm currently at 10k miles on my rebuild running stock gasket and ~8-10 psi. Probably just over 300 at the wheels, but maybe just under. : dunno:

I ran a stock style head gasket with a 60-1 CT a few years ago. ~380whp, beat the shit out of it every time I drove it, no issues. Held up the entire time I had the car, and didn't blow before the motor got RK. Made at least 350whp for 30K+ miles.

I am also doing this setup right now and was wondering what the bolts should be to. 54lbs from tsrm or 74lbs that i see other ppl recommend.

Neither, go with the torque specs that ARP recommends.

30 ft-lbs is plenty.

With ARP studs I'd torque it to 80 or 85 ft. Lbs. Some people will say more though

Eh, he hasn't listened to any of my previous posts so I doubt he'll even read it.

Don't think he's even checked back on any of his previous posts.

A Trd towel bar. Now that would look fancy.

What kind of towel performance gains are made with a TRD towel bar?

Your towels become 30% more rigid while it's in use?
