Any reason for the studs? Honestly, they are even more difficult to get right than normal bolts. Plus, urban legend is that if you are using a stock block, studs can actually distort the deck... ?? Dont know about that one - but put it this way. My next project plan is about 600hp and Im going to use arp bolts, not studs.
They worked with the old motor...should work with this one. The old motor had the cheap HG on it with no problem sealing so a better HG should be overkill.
