arp head studs without changing gasket
So were having a debate here;
Can you put in ARP head studs without changing your head gasket?
we have only done it doing the headgasket.

You botton tap the holes to allow the stud to go into the block further and insure that the treads on the stud are in full face contact with the treads in the block. Also, oil will work into the bolt holes over time. Fluids do not compress well and in both the reason I stated above and this one. It is to avoid a false torque reading!!! Very important to do it right the first time so you do not wipeout a head gasket.
