Was wondering if anyone on here has head studded a 7.3 idi without removing the heads and changing them one at a time? I've studded 3 trucks now, all being 6.4 powerstrokes with very little miles and never been chipped... Instead of tearing the engine down, we removed one head bolt at a time and replaced it with a stud.... torquing to to 1/2 then full directed by ARP.....Worked flawlessly. Has anyone tried this on a 7.3 idi ? I'd like to stud this truck without removing the heads and will already have the valve covers off during turbo addition (removing passenger side to tack weld glow plug relay bracket on)
