Helpful Notes

  • Head gasket thickness: Most reseals use standard thickness; thicker options (.010) help with decked heads—verify piston protrusion and compression goals.
  • Studs vs. bolts: Studs improve clamping on tuned/towed trucks; always follow lube and torque specs, then re-check after heat cycles.
  • Cam & springs: Bigger cams often require stiffer springs; choose spring rate for your boost/RPM targets and set lash after final torque.
  • KDP fix: Locking the dowel pin during timing cover service is cheap insurance on any 12V.
  • Seals & O-rings: P7100 timing case and pump seals get brittle—replace during front cover/KDP work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need head studs on a stock-turbo 12-valve?

For mild tuning and towing, ARP studs are smart insurance. Stock bolts can work at factory power, but studs provide better long-term clamping.

Which cam works best for a tow/daily truck?

The Hamilton 188/220 is a proven all-around grind that improves spool, torque, and EGT control without hurting drivability.

What valve springs should I run?

Pick seat pressure for your boost/RPM. See our Valve Springs section for options that pair with common turbo/cam setups.

Is the Killer Dowel Pin (KDP) really an issue on 12V engines?

Yes—securing it during timing cover service prevents catastrophic gear damage. Use the CPP KDP Kit.

Which gasket sets do I need for a top-end reseal?

Use Mahle HS4068 (upper) with the proper head gasket, and add the CS4068 (lower) for pan/rear main/timing cover items.

I have a front cover/P-pump oil leak—what should I replace?

Inspect the timing cover seal and the P7100 timing case O-ring (3969698); replace both while the cover is off.
