Default Gasket replacement

The head gaskets will be replaced in my blown '93 GT. The gaskets had popped but it's not too bad.

While the heads are off, are there any other parts that should be replaced such as the head bolts?

I'd get some ARP head studs if it was me. And some gaskets designed for boost.

Thumbs up

ARP head bolts now ordered.

I previously had Fel-Pro Graphite head gaskets which lasted a strong 7 years.

Does anyone know the part number or know what today's equivalent head gasket is?

There is a difference between a bolt and a stud . You need studs
