- Mon Jan 24, 2011 2:20 pm #235143 Hey do you guys think that ARP head studs, and a cometic head gasket will be alright for the internals when i boost my d16? I'm only going to run 5 pounds.

- Mon Jan 24, 2011 3:20 pm #235153 ARP headstuds are a must for boosting. Use an OEM headgasket though, that will be good for your setup.

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

Will do. Why would a OEM gasket be more reliable than a cometic one?

- Wed Jan 26, 2011 4:30 am #235459 ^if the ARP's are put in right, the block will blow long before that head lifts or blows the head gasket whether it's got a cometic or an OEM. so go OEM

You and I know the difference in engine codes, but most retailers don't pay attention, or just list it as 'D16' headstuds with different part numbers from ARP. I know this from experience.
