running OE shouldered studs is the best if they will let your header flange fit & can trim the outer fine threaded portion so there's only enough threads left for the nut to fit flush & any more threads is a waste & hampers fitment & can also get a high grade nut that is thinner so you can shorten the studs even more

I left studs in the water jackets and sealed them with blue permatex for waterpumps when I put the studs in about 2-3yrs ago. Just swapped over to headers, left studs in place. Still no leaks.
