Default Head Gasket Time, Turbo 5.0
So I think I killed my head gasket. [white smoke and coolant in downpipe/exhaust but no milkshake yet]
I have...
A Bone stock 5.0 E7 heads Completely stock.
And a MP-T70 Turbo running 9lbs

What do I need to change my head gaskets, what do you all recommend?
I was looking at the FEL-KS2328 kit.
Do I also need head bolts?
Fe -Pro 28

If you're running a turbo, I wouldn't run less than arp head studs and the fel-pro 1133 mls gasket. Should take care of your problems

I can check with my Parts department on a part number for you on Monday (I work for a Ford Dealer).
I may need your VIN, though.

Whats the difference between ARP Head Studs and ARP Head Bolts?
The Bolts are less expensive.
