Default Blown 3mm headgasket

Hey yall,

Thanks to Stock S2000 Head studs i got my s2k's headgasket blown. Now i think am going to order a new 3mm HG from inlinePRO and i'll use ARP headstuds.

My question to inlinePRO: Whats the torque specs for the ARP headstuds ?

it's not cuz of the oem studs...it's because the motor is not meant to have a 3mm spacer in between two layers of HG.

exectly, if you must use that spacer, at least rebuild it instead of paying full price for a new one.

I was talking with a pretty knowledgeable guy who said something about a product that speed boat guys used, I forget what it was, but solved the blown headgasket issues on these racing boats, maybe Ill try it
