earlyrolla Regular Location: Perth Registered: May 2003	Re: HEAD STUDS vs. HEAD BOLTS Sun, 11 July 2004 09:33 I would personally add a small amount of Loctite to the thread of the stud so that once screwed in (finger tight) it shouldnt unscrew when loosening off the head nuts. Most head bolts off older cars that I know of (with the exception of Camira, Pulsar and a few others) can be re-used provided the bolts aren't tightened excessively. Provided the bolts are tensioned to manufacturer's specs (and you have oiled the bolts to reduce friction on the threads and under the head of the bolt), the material the bolt is made from should only stretch with-in its elastic range and therefore when undone, the bolt should take up its original shape. Over tensioning results in plastic deformation and hence stuffed head bolts. Oldcorollas would be the best on this subject. fade-e I have pm-ed you regarding the studs.
