Default Question about ARP head studs in car & head removal

Im going to use arp head studs now instead of the bolts. I have heard that you can remove the heads and you cant remove the heads with the motor still in the car using studs. Input please

You CAN remove the heads while in the car with studs, I have done it many times.

i think the issue is that you have to remove the nuts from the studs, then remove some of the rear studs.

since there isn't enough room to lift the heads over the studs under the cowl.

not a big issue from what i've heard. and the install with studs is supposed to be MUCH easier.

Sweet. Yeah I have had TERRIBLE luck with threads in my block. I think having studs will be a little easier on the threads in the block
