    What's really nice was that those studs were a batch from 2006 and they stood behind a bad nut from then. Usually you will here some stupid 'its out of warrenty' crap. I'm glad they did.

    Head Gasket

    It's like insurance. You pay a crappy premium.....you get crappy coverage. The ARP bolts are like that......very good insurance....torque to @ least 85-90lbs.

    Head Gasket thickness selection

    When measuring the block (i bought my block and it was decked already) is the main saddle bearing the top of the crank where the crank pulley goes. If so.... i'm to measure the top of crank to the top of the block deck with the crank pulley off...correct?!

    David, thanx man for letting me use that stand for a bit. I actually figured out today that I could het some things done (#&!* heat has been talking me out of working on car) without money. So I've got off my tail and tranfered about half the block to my new block. All it cost was some sweat!!

    Rufus, yeah Mike mention that to but the one on the cover is way smaller than that. So I'm gonna say all that stuff is for a 7M-GE. BTW....engine looks good ....but that round thingy looks important.
