Head studs or bolts?????
Damn $60 for studs is a helluva deal. How was the quality and do you have to purchase 2 sets one for each head or does one set cover both heads?

Once you get the nuts off the studs you can pull the stud out and still get the heads off in the car.

There are more reasons than building a race motor and running spray to use studs over bolts. Studs all the way. Buy the studs and dont look back.

No doubt the studs are superior. The thing is the expense is unneccessary since they aren't needed on a mild street/strip type motor.

Why do you say that, if you want, all the studs that I have seen you can pull out with a allen wrench and when you install any stud it should be just a little over hand tight into the block

Studs, they also can be used again. We prefer ARP's but here lately it seems that some people are having great luck with the KMJ/Procomp studs sold through Alper Motorsports/Ebay. Just my .02
