Reusing Head Studs
Im looking at buying a set buying a set of 12mm used head studs? Is this a good idea or bad idea? I reused my stock headbolts when I replaced my Headgasket so I don't see why buying used studs would be a problem?

Also is drilling and tapping required??

TIA

they will be a problem only if they are streched, they sell strech gauges to check it.
