Merry Christmas Guy's

I am in the process of freshening up my engine,
and am thinking about using studs instead of
bolts for the heads, my thinking is like this
a stud clamps, and a bolt holds??????

Am I thinking in the right way, or not?

Any opinions on this is much appreciated.

Another ??? for the guy's that use studs,
are there any header flange problems, with
using studs, do they get in the way????

Thanks
Dave
