Uprated or standard bolts and gaskets?

[Guest]

With an performance head and injection system would it require me to run uprated head bolts and gasket.. or will brand new standard work?
What can/will happen if headbolts would fail?

 

[Guest]

[Guest]

Im not sure whats going on in the thread :shock: :lol:

basically you stud the block and torque down nuts intead of big long bolts. its meant to be more accurate.

 

[Guest]

lol reevio was explaining (albeit without punctuation!) that if the headbolts were to fail then the engine/ head would need rebuilding. justin suggested that instead of headbolts excudo should opt for a stud and nut conversion, myself expressing interest in aforementioned stud and nut conversion requested some photograpic evidance or a link of or to said studs and nuts! clearer??
