also i measured my head studs to see if the "stretched" and they were all pretty consistent at around 97.8mm...according to Mitsu a stretched stud is 99.4mm
i dont know what the factory measurement is so maybe someone can chime in on that.

i replaced with stock head gasket and ARP head studs.

anyway thought i would share....

 

dont think it should be bent up like that... haha

 

Resurface, Replace, Re-Seal, Re-Inspect

 

Its a good thing you caught that when you did before it caused more damage. Replacing the head studs is a great idea. I changed mine as soon as I got my car cause I new i would need it later on.

 

Looks fine to me.

 

I dont think you took the right pics to tell if it was messed up. I know when I took my metal exhaust manifold gasket off it was weird like that, probably just because of the tension that was released from it.

 

Fail. Lmao. That should not happen.. I added you btw.

 

just a little wrinkle

 

Save it and re-use it next time. It's fine.

 

^ thats wut I'm thinking

 

dam that sucks!

 

A little bit of copper sealant and you would've been fine. LOL
