lets try this in here
i just put a prety much stock 6.0 together, put in head studs, cam, springs, rod bolts and some cometic head gaskets. i have drivin it for about a month now and have been thru 4 bottles of nitrous. just recently i realized i have a tiny head gasket leak, i am presureizing the cooling system and loosing some coolant, like 1 cup every tank of gas. it is a tiny leak, i put 120psi to the cylinder and it took 20minutes before i had any increase in coolant sys presure(firmer hose).
what should i do?
just pull the one head and have it surfaced a min amount and reuse the cometic?
pull both heads and surface and use some felpro's($26/pair and local)
or do both heads but with some stock mls gaskets( ~$200for the set with bolts that i dont need, thats the only way i can get them)
i will be hiting this motor with a t76 next week
