Ok I have read a ton of posts on head gasket changes and found tm saying that .005" is the most allowable to be removed on the heads for the ldt-465-1d.My problem is that my heads are warped about .006"so will need ether that or .007" to be true again. Is the tm saying this for not re-seating the valves. If i had the valves seated by whatever thickness is removed would this be acceptable or am I in a world of hurt by needing both heads replaced?It just seems a shame that the engine only has 400 hrs and 6015 miles since installed in 1991 when the mwo was done. Yes it had the new style gaskets on it that have integral fire rings and the red linings around the passages and it was leaking coolant from the rear head in the front and rear along the side with the intake. Yes i have turned the fuel up but i have the digital piro installed in the exhaust manifold and it never exceeded 1000deg. at any point. I am just hoping for a way to NOT have to replace them for this truck is needed very soon because I am remodeling a house I have just closed on and cash is a little tight for replacing them. Any help is very appreciative
. Thanks
