ARP Studs Question How much do the 8m studs play in the total clamping of the head to the block? I would guess that the 10 11m studs apply all or very close to all the cmaping force.

Very little. They are torqued to 22 ft/lbs ONLY after all the other bolts have been final torqued.
Seems like they are there to keep oil blowby to a minimum as there is no direct oiling or pooling in the area...
