FAQ
Q: Is machine work required before install?
A: This head arrives assembled with new valve seals and performance springs. Always check surface finish, piston protrusion, and choose the correct gasket thickness for your build. MLS or fire-ring setups are typical for high-boost builds.
Q: Do I need head studs?
A: Yes. We strongly recommend ARP head studs for any performance build using this head.
Q: Will this fit my 12-valve (1989-1998) or common-rail (2003-2007) engine?
