I'm wondering what you guys are using! OEM head bolts, APR head bolts, ARP 6pt head stud kit, or the ARP 12pt head stud kit. And what boost are you running?

Can the heads be changed in the car with studs? I can not tell by pics if there is a place for an allen wrench on the end of the stud to remove it with the head on.

studs and the heads were installed in the car.

I used 12 Pt ARP nuts/ studs.

The studs are R&R'd with an allen wrench. I removed the driver's side studs when I did the heads this year. The master cylinder blocked the path of that side head with the long studs left in place. (The shortblock with heads went in through the top with the hood in place last year.)

Thanks for the info on the install. I was worried about that. I think I will go ahead and order the 12 pt stud.

Do you have to retorque the heads using the studs with MLS gaskets?
