Hey fellas I'm getting ready to tackle the dreaded head gasket and studs on my 05 6.0 I need the dos and fonts while I'm in there what to replace and what not to replace, scoop to nuts I need to know where to get them from as well, I read the sticky and it's almost overwhelming do please any info would be greatly appreciated!!!
if your going to tear the engine down that far you might consider an egr delete, new oil cooler, stc for the hpop (should be done if it hasn't already). ipr screen, injector o-rings. be sure you keep things clean and make sure debree doesn't get in engine or oil channels. work is not that hard just time consuming. i also replaced the ipc sensor and the ebp sensor and cleaned the tube from the ebp to the exhaust manifold. while you have the turbo off clean it and make sure it turns freely and doesn't have any play in the shaft (both in and out and side to side). check your glow plugs and injectors for broken tips and cracks. and the worst thing is getting your heads surfaced and checked for cracks. check all your torques.
