I feel your pain man. I guess I can welcome myself to the club! I also run the sportsman block and today after another test drive I came home to a suprise. Coolant seeping out of the stud threads on the exhaust side studs! I was also not warned by anyone, nor did I hear anything of this! Have you found the proper replacements? Is it possible to just replace the lower studs 1 by 1 or is the $120 set of loc-wired gaskets I bought junk?
