there's no need for head studs - just get the right bolts and make sure the holes are clean with a cleaning tap...the shop that built it should have done that. don't blame head bolts or the gasket for your decision not to fix an assembly problem...

Like i said i didnt know any better and figured it was just one bolt, it would be ok. The rest torqued fine each time. I didnt say that the machine shop was at fault because the bolts would not torque, they are at fault for the not putting the short block together correctly for me.
