Header studs??
thats what i was thinking... but what do you mean no benefit??? have you ever tried puting long tube headers on while holding a gasket with copper silocone on it? it not easy!! with the studs you can slide the gasket on there without it slipping around and trying to get it lined up. It would be way easier, just wasnt sure if there was enough room to do it.
Nah- Fel-Pro 1406s have the 'ears' on the ends. Get the front & rear header bolts started and drop the gasket in. Then get the other 4 bolts in and tighten them down. No goop, nothing else... I use Mr. Gasket split washers for a little extra assurance against bolts backing out.

I've used Felpro 1406s with the hooks on the ends for 11 years now. I agree with Gojira - hanging the gasket on the outer bolts makes life much easier. I would think studs would be an absolute pain in the ****.

Verdad Gallardo No RTV. That **** just makes a mess. Most every header gasket is made so that RTV is not needed (compression). I just like to clean up the head flange with some sandpaper to texture it slightly, bolt on the gasket/header, and tighten from the inside out. Never had a leak.
