    Quick questions about ARP's and MLS gaskets

    my m10 turbo running about 12 lbs.
    Its on stock headbolts, and stock headgasket.

    The build is about 90% done, however, Im thinking about going with a MLS and ARP studs. Im really low on funds, but after seeing what m10s can take with just this combo is really appealing.

    once you put in the headstuds, can you still pull the head without replacing the studs, or do you have to replace them every time you do it?

    Do you thikn I should be safe running 12 lbs on a stock M10 with a bit lower compression? with the stock bolts/ headgasket, or is the 300 bucks for both really worth dishing out?

    ppl say they don't have to be replaced every time with those but I still would. I don't buy into that and its not really that much to do it right

        yeah they still can come out. Are you planning on welding them in?

          No, I just thought that the studs stayed in, and the nuts came off.

            yes you are right. But they can still be removed and replaced.

              Studs are not supposed to need replacing when removing the head, and if used with 12 to 15 PSI, I would say no worries.

                  Studs don't "stretch" when you assemble them, so they clamp better. If you "O-Ring" the head, a stock gasket will do amazing amounts of bewst on most motors. Combine that with studs, and I would guess an otherwise stock M10 could handle a boatload of boost.

                    MLS headgasket, stock used head bolts running 24psi for at least a year ( 15 to 20 psi the two years prior ), daily driven and no problems ( except for the lack of a second gear now ).

                        I'm using an MLS gasket and Metric Blue Bolts, albiet it's an M20, and it's nearly $300 for the stud kit.
