Believe it or not, there is a huge
difference between using a cylinder head "stud" and a cylinder head
"bolt." Factory head "bolts" will eventually stretch and pull out of the
cylinder head, leaving a not-so-wonderful opportunity for a blown head
gasket, warped cylinder head or costly damage to the engine block. It is
highly recommended that you DO NOT install used head "bolts."
You have two choices when re-installing a cylinder head. 1)
Use brand new cylinder head "bolts" (Part# 13-106OEM) or 2) install a new
set of cylinder head "studs" (Part# 13-106). Cylinder head "studs" CAN be
reused and allow the head to be evenly torqued down. In performance and
high compression applications, it is recommended that you go to a cylinder
head "stud" set up. For technical assistance, please call our tech
