LT1 alloy head replacement q's



Hey guys n gals, it looks like I'm in for a head gasket job on my 96Z.

I found out that the headbolts are torque to yeild but are there others or just them? Will just pre-85 headbolts work? I've got several sets here.

Any other things to look out for like brittle vacume lines, hard to get at sensors...
Where is the best place to bleed off the pressure on the fuel rail?

And once I get it all back together, is it ethelyne glycol or propylene

Thanks E

Buy some new ARP bolts so you don't have to worry about them. Don't go sticking old bolts in there (unless you want to possibly do the work again).

The fuel rail has a shrader valve in the rear. http://shbox.com/1/fp_reg.jpg
