I'm currently using a HKS 2mm metal head gasket with ARP studs on my car. Studs are better because they provide two tension points instead of the single point used on a bolt (thats what i've been told anyway!)


that still makes no sense to me Smile

what i understand is that studs are a solution to the more practical issue of taking the head on and off repeatedly - as in a race car. makes life much easier, and installing the geasket and head can be done more quickly, with more accurate alignment...

there may be some functional advantage of a nut screwing down onto a stud in terms or more accurate torque readings, but i dare say it anint much...

ps dan - did you have to do anything funky to get a tool onto the nuts in the head on order to tighten them?
