If you could go back in time when your truck only had 63K miles

I am sure they stretch some, but the compression of the gasket is what I noticed after a week.

Thank you very much!!

 

@Me78569are you saying your existing gasket compressed that much after you upgraded the studs?

 

@jlbayes how many lbs do you have yours torqued down to?

[jlbayes]

Arps spec. 125ft lbs.

[Me78569]

that's what I did then.  I followed their directions.

Well there are many that like to over torque them thinking they know better than Arps engineers lol. Not saying that is you. Just sayin

 All right guys I got an update, I got the new ARP head studs installed!! That took a couple hours in the 90 degree heat!!!

 

 I also installed the injectors with everything torqued down to spec. Also adjusted the valve lash while I was in there. Then I went to fire up the truck the truck started after being bled however it had a horrible miss. I loosened all the lines and every line but three affected the idle so I realized cylinder three was the cylinder that had a miss. I then took everything back apart and switched injectors with cylinder three with the cylinder one injector everything looked good reassembled it and now I have a miss in cylinder one, I believe I may have been shipped a faulty injector......

 

What do you guys think?

 

This is beyond frustrating I now am becoming a pro and when I get a new injector I will get to do it yet again. Hopefully third time is the charm?

I took a video here is a link.

If the miss is following the injector I would have to agree with your diagnosis.
