hi,
I'm getting my 3.2 freshened. the 3.2's have no head gaskets. my machinist recomended machining the cylinders so that C2 type gaskets could be used. At first I thought ok, but later reconsidered because I dont recall head leaks to be a problem with 3.2's. I just took apart 2 3.2's - both had top ends done at some point in their lives and neither had this mod done. Anyone have knowledge of this? tia Bryan |

Is the new setup to replace the head studs with Dilivar, Racequip, or plain steel studs? It seems to me that using the steel studs would not expand the same as the cylinders. Isn't that the old 2.7 pulled head stud story? Thanks for the explaination.
