I wouldn’t be opposed to a quick re-gasket before winter, while leaving engine in frame. The clutch isn’t smoked, just starting to chatter when hot. If I were turboing 7.3 or swapping to 5.9, new clutch would be desired while it’s all out. Still wanting to pickup a 5.9 for eventual swap, but my plan was to collect parts over 6+ months and not drop $4-5k at once, due to 7.3 going out on me.
I see a lot of threads about 7.3 head bolts being reusable, but 6.9 bolts are not. Should 172k mile head bolts be tossed? Not looking to buy $600 studs at this time.
Here are my findings, anything to avoid? Anything I’m excluding?
