man that REALLY sucks iv spent most of the day reading this thread off and on and its a really heart ache to see that ur truck succumbed to something else!
*Side note* Valley pan studs? Where did he get them? Got a link?
*Back to thread* I never thought of it that way. Can you cut the holes a bit bigger and add screw in plugs?

Soory to hear your troubles, hope you can overcome the issues.I've got milky moisture buildup in the top of the oil fill cap and watery deposits on the dipstick. Just thought I'd update a little. I'm not really sure what to do with this truck right now. My dad has told me to scrap the original heads, he has a point, I'll never know for sure if that guys work will cause me problems down the road or not. Not to mention he did take them down to within 1thou of the min for thickness, so if there's something wrong them them they are junk.
I'm gonna call Barnett High Performance tomorrow and find out what they'd charge me for a set of stage 4 6.9 heads with rings installed. My guess is gonna be around $1750-$2000.
But I guess first thing's first, try to figure out what's wrong.
You should NEVER re-use a valley pan gasket, they are a crush gasket, one time use only. I know they are expensive, but if they blow it gets a lot more expensive..
