Head studs, headbolts, mainstuds.
Whats the diff between headstuds and headbolts? I know they both bolt the head onto the block somehow but whats the difference?
Also what are main studs? Thanks! |

main studs are the bolts that hold down your main caps on your crankshaft

head studs are the way to go for good secureness....and they dont really need to get re-torqued because the stem dont twist when u tighten them....but its harder to change the head or gasket when everything is in the car....
head bolts are good too but they will need to get re-torqued because the stem twists a little; n when it heats up after a while it loosens up....but its easier to do hg's n shyt while the motor is in the car..... i'd say the best is STUDS....it has equal tightness without twisting strain on the stem.......

I just ordered a head gasket. Are you telling me I'll have to take the engine completely out if I use studs or just have a little more difficult time manuevering the head around?

i haven't used arp studs i used arp bolts so i'm talking completely out of my ass here.
but from what i've seen online people are saying you have to pull it . and from what i remember from pulling the register pins , i would think it would be a MF to get the head on while arp studs are in .
