Remember to deck the head and replace the head bolts. While you are there...

You know I'm real glad you mentioned the injectors, I'll be sending them into http://www.injectorrx.com next week. It'll be around $100 to get them professionally tested and cleaned...well worth it after 150k miles.

Also, Wade thanks for that, I'll be getting the head milled and ordering ARP studs. I'll be installing a TT headgasket as well, since I'll one day go NA-T
