Steel head studs from the dealer - Corrosion?

[jamesjedi]

I have ordered steel head studs from the local Porsche dealer. They came with a small amount of corrosion on the threads. Asked for another set - they had the same corrosion.

Is this normal? I asked for a refund.

Cheers and thanks.

Not a concern at all. I wouldn't brush them.

I find this surprising. These are $400 studs. Are they normally with some corrosion?

They are steel and not an exotic alloy.

You are working this too hard.

Just my opinion :

It should not matter that there is some slight surface rust but these are new studs and should be free of rust when purchased.
