Zoldman Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Looks like when my LT1 engine is installed, if I use head studs I will have to remove the brake booster and master to slide the heads off. So, common sense says to use head bolts instead. But, I have always used studs, being told by big time engine builder when I was just learning that studs are far superior in strength and also tighten down much more uniformly which is real important on aluminum heads. ARP does sell head studs in higher rated materials than the bolts, and their info seems to push studs also. Anyone have an opinion on this?? Once the heads are on, I don't want them to have to come off again, but things do happen......... Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 With the jtr position I believe you would have to pull the engine at least off its mounts, if not out of the car to get the heads if you go headstuds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
