My shop is doing it for $3663.32 that includes all parts, and labor, for arp studs, black onyx gaskets, new oil cooler, egr delete, sct tuner, all fluids changed, turbo cleaned, and a pinion seal replaced,
Black Onyx gaskets are a definite weak point, That is if we can believe anything we read here on this site..........I'd seriously consider spending the additional money and staying with the Ford OEM gaskets...........or at least search it out here before you decide.JMHO
FWIW, I personally have no experience with Black Onyx gaskets but I do follow this site and have yet to find a positive statement in their defense....just sayin'
^ that is correct. Permatex copper spray. I had a car in the shop once (4 cylinder turbo car) that kept blowing coolant at WOT down the track. ARP studs torqued to nearly twice the OEM head bolt specs, new gaskets, over and over again coolant spraying out under full boost. After copper spraying the USED gasket no more problems! I believe the customer was just over 40psi of boost.
Would it be a good idea to put something like copper spray on our gaskets,I know my engine builder used to put something on nitrous and turbo charged gaskets mainly around the water passages but I can't remember the name of it.
