Quick question on ARP cylinder head fasteners? Should I go with bolts or studs???
I'm going to be putting it together one time and not planning on
taking it apart every other weekend or just use the GM kit that i
got with my Heads/Cam kit from TSP?
Thank-you for your guys help.

Hey Chief,
I went with the ARP bolts just because I don't like the TTY thing. Kind of wish I had just gone with the studs even though they're kind of a pain when the motor is in the car.

Whats up fellow Chief? I am just down the road from you at VR-53 Andrews AFB. I have studs in my 383, and I use MLS gaskets, and to date I have not had a single leak or problem. It makes dropping the heads on pretty easy, and of course their clamping force cannot be beat. I would not use GM bolts unless the engine is out of the car, that is the only way you can get an accurate torque on those bolts.
