did you use arp head studs? or new head bolts?

new head bolts are 42 fp, then 120 degrees then one row gets another 30 degrees.

uh head bolts not studs, sh** ran decent today though, no funny sounds or heating issues

What's the difference between the Arp head studs...also would like to know if everything's still good griffin

Head studs are reusable most head bolts are torque to yield and can only be used once.

What you said you did seems okay. Drive it for a while, and check your oil to make sure it's not milky.
