I am looking for studs to replace my header bolts on my LS3 in a C5.

Also, one of my front thread areas on my heads is almost stripped but still works. It seems I have heard of a certain type of stud that can be implaced permenantly which could/would go into the head. So therefore I would have a stud where the potenially worn/stripped thread hole was - and I wouldn't have to tap it. (cannot get to it to tap it while it is on the block in the car).

Anyone have info?

 

The ARP stainless steel studs are the way to go. You might want to heli coil the bad bolt hole just to be safe. ARP4341301 summit

 

Thanks. As the heads are on the car, I cannot get a good angle on the bad bolt hole. I was hoping there was some other solution.
