Nah, that's just crazy talk!!!!  |
Maybe, maybe not... You definitely do for the most efficient burn. But, with the headbolt setup on the 6.0, you have to be careful, since higher heat/more complete burn will lead to higher cylinder pressures and those higher cylinder pressures can cause blown headgaskets....
The thing is, we know that removing it increases cylinder pressures but we don't really know how much. Without knowing how much, we don't know if removing it has a
significant negative impact on headgaskets or not........
