ok so heres the run down when i bought this truck there was issues and i got most of them sorted out.... except a few so the first part is exhaust header... the nuts are rusted solid, what i thought was a head gasket leak i found out today is ring blow by... the air cleaner is absoutly dusted with oil and sooty exhaust....


so knowing i have to pull the head and bottom end to fix this... that means that minimum once i break the bolts the truck is down for a week.... (looking for options for a secondary vehicle right now)

(CH110LMK this is the best and honestly the only part # i could find)
so the question is after hitting 190k what all should i be replacing... aside from pistons/rings, timing components, and standard short haul with soft components, having the head squared and managed...
exhaust studs/header (my header is toast), head studs any thing else i should focus on??? other then microing the parts
