blown head gaskets... upgrades???
blown head gaskets... upgrades??? my head gaskets are done. leaking compression into the cooling system. I have heard that these motors are somewhat prone to this with the factory gaskets and head bolts. what gaskets and head bolts should i use. i have some ARP head bolts from a gen 1 motor, can i use these with the lt1 aluminum heads?

Nothing really wrong with LT1 head gaskets, if you popped one, there is a reason. When a head gasket blows, you can read them and see what caused it. How to build Lt1/4 is pretty good book, you may want to pick it up. They have the torque specs in there, I used that book more then I did the factory service manual.
the block would basically create a steam pocket and the radiator cap would release pressure and all the coolant.
this motor is in a off road race truck, the radiator is a dual core dual pass 31x19 ron davis with dual fans in the rear of the truck. i bought the motor with 160k miles for 500 bucks and ive put over 1500 race miles on it since. pretty damn reliable if you ask me!
