Broken head stud
In the process of reseal job discovered one broken head stud. Unfortunately is was on the second half. Should all 24 be replaced or just the ones on the bank where the broken one was discovered? Car is 91 C2 Turbo 54000 miles. Advice appreciated.

On a turbo engine I would replace all of them.

+1 I would replace all of those head studs too with that mileage on the engine.

Thanks everyone. Further investigation is leading to complete top end. Not what I was expecting for a 54000 mile engine.....
