FAQ
Does this kit include the head gaskets?No. HS54580 is the head set (upper set). Order left and right MLS head gaskets separately by grade.
How do I choose the correct head gasket grade?Measure piston protrusion and follow OE service data. Grade C (≈1.05 mm) is common, but always verify your build.
Should I reuse stock head bolts?No. LB7 uses torque-to-yield bolts; replace with new bolts or upgrade to ARP studs for clamping strength.
What else should I replace while I’m in there?Inspect injector seals/return washers, up-pipe and manifold gaskets, and coolant pipe O-rings; refresh as needed.
