head leaking oil.

hmm... What to do? buy a new head gasket? If so, I have a ims 440 kit on mine. Would I have to buy a different gasket or stock one? Also what would I torque it to?

Thats the one problem with the kits. They will either pull your studs out, or u will blow head gaskets. Ide get a new headgasket, and look into a stud kit. One like TC sells. I think its like.....85 or something for a stud kit that wont pull like the stock ones will. Just an idea

Could the studs be the problem? or will that overall just help it later on.

So I guess I get the regular stock gasket?

no u cant run a stock gasket u need an overbore gasket. Ide call cometic and try and get one. Ide call and try to get a STAINLESS STEEL head gasket. But one of the studs could be pulling, and that could cause it too leak. But make sure u get a STAINLESS STEEL headgasket! Cometic sells those paper ones with most of there kits, and they arent any good. so get the stainless steel gasket. But yes, that stuf kit will DEF. help to prevent it from hapenning.
