Super Jet girdled head install questions

[gto0209]

I recently bought a new motor for my superjet, and I also have a riva girdled head. If I install the studs 1 by 1 would there be a need to replace the base gasket?

you might be able to get away with it, but why risk it.. buy a new gasket

gto, how long has it beeen since you put your motor together ???
if its over a year, i would change out the crank seals and all gaskets.
better safe then to have a gernade happen !!!
