Default Removing heads with studs!

Does anyone know if you are able to remove and install heads on a c5 when your using studs not bolts? I wasn’t sure if you would have necessary clearance near the fire wall.

Thank R

you might be able to but at there cost you wouldn’t want to take a chance at damaging the threads.

Yes you can remove and install heads with studs. There is enough clearance.

how would the threads get hurt unscrewing them? Its not like they are torqued down-
Unless ones throwing a lot of boost at a motor theres really no need (just an opinion)
