im really surprised you didnt put headstuds while you were in there, very cheap insurance. but you should be ok with the power you’ll be at. looks good though, that will be a nice setup.

thanks for getting my TB tool back to me real fast as well :tup:

You can do headstuds without pulling the cams on these cars, right? The stupid 2.4L srt motor requires you to pull the cams to do the head studs, which was always a pain in the ass…

and mine leaked after that. Many stock headbolt cars out there with no issues at all. If I were to do it again, I would have never touched them, unless I was removing the head. Just my .02

yes, there is a chance of it leaking, but thats the chance you take. i as well wouldnt put them in unless i pulled the head, but thats just me.

i would always do them while your in there, im just paranoid lol

I’ve been watching headstud threads on evoM since 2003… the conclusion I’ve made is that replacing them without removing the head is just as shady as not doing them at all so it’s a wash. Also, I’ve never seen a case where the stock ones caused a real problem until you’re over 450whp and even then I can’t think of a case (mostly because people have upgraded at this point?)

Yeah, Ive seen a few cases on EvoM where the head gasket leaks oil from not taking the head off to do the head studs.
