I prefer the studs myself, but others, such as Ol Ron, prefer the bolts.

Studs are OK, unless you have to remove your heads someday.

Re: 59 head studs vs 8ba head bolts
The way the heads on my engine fit so tight on the studs, I would worry about having trouble getting the bolts to start perfectly and possibly messing up the block threads.
I thought about opening up the holes in the heads a little bit so they wouldn't be so tight. Decided against doing that and just used a rubber mallet to help the heads go down. Could be the studs weren't perfectly straight, don't know.

Re: 59 head studs vs 8ba head bolts
There was a thread on here recently about opening up the holes on the heads a bit to prevent them being too tight.
I do not recall the exact oversized diameter, but someone may remember and chime in. |
