Head Gasket Replacement
So, I blew my head gasket and have been looking for what to replace it with. From what I've seen, just an OEM gasket would be best.? I'm also putting ARP studs in it, unless there's another brand I should put in it. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

OEM gaskets, ARP studs and have the heads machined flat. Checking with a straight edge doesn't guarantee they are flat.
Change the pushrods, OEM oil cooler and gasket and EGR delete if possible.

Ford for both if not all parts. The new pushrods are slightly shorter to avoid bottoming out and bending or taking out a lifter. I'd even consider putting in new lifters if you have high miles.
