Stumped about Studs

Studs replace the stock head bolts. They give you more clamping force on the head gasket with the same torque. This is because they use nuts on top of the head with a much finer pitch than the threads down in the block.
A 12 valve kit will work. I've read that with some of the kits you need to do a little grinding on the valve covers to get them to sit flat.

Any of the vendors can set you up with studs. You can get the ARP set from nearly anybody who deals with ARP. PDW (a site sponsor) has the best price I've seen on the ARP's.

It does not eliminate the need for o-ringing. It will make the headgasket live longer and give it the abitlity to hold more boost, but o-ringing and studs is better.
