Blown head gasket?
#21
I'm guessing the stock HG is an MLS. Either way, ARP head studs aren't a solve all for the issue. Replace the head gasket and use new bolts, studs are overkill for this situation.

Be sure to get the head checked and resurfaced if need be. If you reinstall a warped head with a new head gasket, itll blow the new gasket pretty quickly. Id recommend getting the block checked too if at all possible, however the block is much less likely to warp.

My friend/mechanic just looked at them and he said that the head and block were fine... Is there anything eles I should be looking for?

sorry for no update but my buddy knew a Toyota tech and he came over and did whatever he had to do and said everything was fine put it back together and the engine runs great but still has to much pressure in the crank and is pushing oil out my seals so i need to figure out a good way to vent this.
