Are any if them broken?
Are you doing a rebuild anyways? If rebuilding then change them out. I used the steel ones, others will recommend many other types, just read the engine rebuilding forum to see!

Doubt a previous owner would have just changed out the top given the bottoms were the ones that sheared.

Are they shiny like SS or do they have a cadmium plating look. My Dilavars were a bit gold-ish if I remember. I still have the old ones at my shop so I can go see later today. They looked "tired" The raceware ones still look "new" after 15 years.

Maybe the bottoms are Raceware studs?
