kerrynzl 3 Report post Posted August 5, 2006 Yep! I have [on a Chevy] They are reusable. ARP make them for BMW, google "Summit Racing" in the states [they are a large mail order house, I use them regularly] The only problem I've had with studs ,Is clearance when lifting a cylinder head over them [A problem with V engines, a slanter wil be similar] In my corvette I have to pull the engine to lift a head off.Otherwise the advantages outweigh the headaches Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
