Default Ebay Head Studs?

I have a LQ4 6.0 with LS3 Heads/Intake and need help figuring out which Head Studs I need to buy since the Block is a 2002 and Heads are 2010

Yes do yourself a favor and search Ebay head stud and spend the extra $ for the arp stuff. I had one of these break off in the block, not worth the headache.

Don't cheap out on no-name fasteners.

There is a lot of R&D/testing that goes into the design of highly stressed fastener.

Not to mention there is probably no quality control on those parts.

I'd never, ever buy el-cheapo fleabay fasteners. If you can't afford ARP stuff, at least buy some new GM bolts. I love what oldgoat69's sig says...there's never enough money to do it right, but there's always enough to do it twice. Shoot, even if the eBay stuff was free, I wouldn't put it MY engine. Just sayin...
