Can LS9 head gasket be used with stock size ARP head studs.....?

Aren't the LS9 gaskets made for different size head bolts?

How will the gasket line up if the ARP head studs I have are stock sized bolts?

Yes, It has been done a zillion times. There are still dowels that locate the heads to the block and locate the gasket. The bolts never serve to locate align the heads and gaskets to the block.

glad this thread popped up during google search.. I was day dreaming about stepped 11mm in block to 1/2" stud or something ridiculous to avoid having the block machined..
