    Any Texas guys know of a good place to get head studs and head gasket work done?

    I'm looking at doing some piece of mind upgrades to my 16' 6.7. First thing that comes to mind is head studs and upgraded head gaskets. I'd like to get these done before they become a problem. My dilemma is not knowing which shops I need to be calling to get prices from. I'm not looking for the cheapest. I value quality over cost. Anyone have first hand experience with a quality place to get this done?

    The head gasket doesn't need to be replaced with something higher quality or head need to be decked? Right after I posted this I stumbled across Ray's write up. I think I could even follow that.

    Not from what I've read .Every situation is different, I only had 11k miles on mine, so I didn't pull the head.
