Subject: [Healeys] Head gasket
Listers,
I am thoroughly confused and baffled and I need help.
I need to replace the head gasket on my 66 BJ8. Moss shows three different=
gaskets ranging from $49 to $229. Moss shows a $64 complete kit for all g=
askets including the head gasket. Moss shows short head studs vs long head=
studs and they show a "High Strength Head Stud Set" ranging in price from =
$8.99 each to $229.99 for the "Set".
I have read (on the Moss site) that ARP makes the high strength stud. ARP =
has asked me for the length of the stud, the diameter of the stud and the t=
hread size. I have also read that Summit sells the studs and they are aski=
ng me the same questions as ARP.
So, the questions are what is the info on the stud sizes, high strength vs =
regular strength (same for the nuts and washers), long or short studs, who =
to buy from, who is the source for the best head gasket (what thickness) an=
d what else do I need to know. The manual says 75 ft lbs of final torque i=
n three stages. Should I be a bit more than that or stick with the book?
As you can see, I really need expert advice before I screw things up. I do=
not race the car so it is stock.
Thanks for the help,
Fred
