![]() Do studs add any insurance against blowing gaskets?
I already have ARP bolts, they're reusable aren't they?

![]() Yes, studs seal better and the ARP bolts are reusable.
Studs aren't really needed until you start adding blowers or nitrous.

![]() One problem with studs is that you can't pull the heads with the engine in the car (sometimes anyway).
