do the arp head studs replace factory head bolts/studs or are they add ons?

 

They would replace the factory headbolts. they are a good investment if you plan on having the head off more than once as they are not torque to yield.

 

What do u mean theu are not torque to yield?

 

Stock headbolts are one time use (torque to yield)

Arp are reuseable

 

Be careful with that. ARP are reusable as long as they are not over torqued. I know some people like to ignore ARP's torque reccomendation and tighten them until they almost snap. When this happens they need to be discarded and new ones need installed.

 

This is true

 

Lol my mech is going to be doing it so ill pass that word on to him. Thanks guys
