Studs - VS - Bolts What seems to be the deciding factor with Head fasteners ?
Some use ARP Studs were others use their Bolts. Just curious.
Thanks Mac

I don't like the thought of stripping the threads out of the block. If you need to swap the heads, it's a little easier since you don't have to clean the block threads. That's why I went the stud route.

not sure why people go with the arp bolts over the studs. Studs, you clean the bolt holes once, screw the stud down and installing/ removing the head is a matter of taking off nuts. Arp bolts are just reusable, where as the stockers are TTY (torque to yeild)

Bolts are ~$120 and studs are ~$230
