Tons of stuff about head studs leaking on LT1s.

If you use the correct sealant/use it properly there shouldn't be an issue. I've made this mistake before.

shouldnt be. were the heads off before? you mean the 2 shorter bolts.
early blocks have 2 shorter ones. 2004-later are all the same

Now you say that I dont remember it was last week, and the '52 chevy is at the steel shop in Redford...not something I can just run to real quick lol heads where not pulled off before. I wish I would have took pics of them cause it was odd to me too when we seen them

that 6.0 is a 2003 that its the '52
the other 6.0 is 2002 or 2004 thats in the LeMans

Just like every other LS based motor LQ4's do not have head bolts that enter the cooling passages. You must be thinking of something else.

i just took off the heads off our 6.0, 2 of the bolts, longer ones if I remember right, have corrosion right in the middle of them...engine does run doesnt burn or leak anything.

LQ9's do though, so I was just saying thats what he was probably thinking of

I know there are head bolts that go through coolant passages in the 6.0s so thats what you might have read

nope. in fact. here is a tip to all you guys putting in studs and head bolts. Make absolutely sure the bolt holes are DRY before putting studs or head bolts in. If not, you WILL crack the block

Its more about the exhaust side than the compressor. I personally don't like turbo that have a compressor thats much larger than the turbine. They just don't seem to perform well. That new T76 that Jonny has looks like a good turbo for a good price.


I'm not sure what 6.0 your thinking of but its certainly not an LS based motor if the head bolts go into the cooling passages.

No, I've read some threads about people having coolant leak by the studs themselves. Doesn't some of the studs/bolts go into the cooling passages?

You buy a turbo yet? Take my advise and save for something with a 75mm+ turbine.
