Yes I'm Reusing my Studs
I ran a silver 66 all last season. I think that from it with 3.3's might have pushed it to far with High Drive pressures. I had no symptoms of a blown haed gasket with the 66 on. Although, once I put the twins on The larger volume of air Pushed past the gasket immiediatly. I ran the 66 @ 60+psi of boost. I've seen 70+psi out of the twins. Ya I'm relieved there is no carnage. She got beaten pretty hard but stayed Happy I guess

It's hard to tell sometimes from a pic whether it's a bubble or a pit. Like one of those optical illusion drawings...are the stairs right side up or upside down?

ya it looks like it but When a piston is burnt it has a lot of other signs of it being toasted. Rest assure there just bubbles from oil and coolant. Maybe I should have wiped it off Before I snapped the pics
You'll be good!

Admittedly, I haven't seen many melted pistons that weren't completely wasted. I had to ask.
