Hello guys,  what happened is that I put a new set of felpro performance head gaskets on my s c 350 and I found some antifreeze in the oil again. I removed the left side and it was very tight, however the right side came off very easy, they both were tightened to 70lbs. As the block is a good wrench and the heads are the edelbrock 6073 aluminum . This time I would like to replace the pistons rings, the pistons have marked 0.030 on them, are the rings the same size 0.030? Now if i tighten the heads studs on a cold engine and then repeat it on a warm engine could this prevent the heads from getting loose? I have arp studs and I don’t really know which ones I have. As they just have the arp letters Imprinted   on the head. Should I replace them?

Your help is appreciated.

I'd read the ARP instructions to start.  They have specific instructions for using their products.  Find the product that would be spec'ed for your application.

Thanks I’ll be contacting arp tomorrow.

do you have any idea about the rings? If the pistons have 0.030 marked on them could that means that the rings are the same size 0.030?
