its not a mather buying new studs. the ones i have are fine. i alway found it easier not having studs in the way, while installing a head, or in my case making sure my o-rings will seat propurly on my cool haed
tx for yur input ,its well noted, i have never striped a head bolt in any of my cylinder ever.... it shouldnt either. at only around 20flb of tork imo . yes the bolts i have, are for engine purpose there around 3-4$ a bolt.. like i said above i find the stud to be in the way
tx for all the help
