    We are about to get the Head Gasket changed in a 2004 KCB C-13....

    What else should they check/replace/adjust while the head is off.

    I have heard the Injector tube O rings for one...

    Thanks

    Have them check for bad head bolts. If any of them have erosion starting have them replaced. CAT had a problem with the back head bolts stretching as well. The other thing is to look at the cylinder that the head gasket was leaking at and ensure the liner protrusion is correct.
