Gang, I closed the thread. The original query had been answered and it was turning into a slugfest.

I completely agree with this. Henry, and a number of other people on this forum, are generous with their knowledge, and a lot of that knowledge is valuable intellectual property that they give us for free. If this forum was a bunch of amateurs talking about engine building, it would be useless. Supertec makes head studs and I don't see any problem with Henry posting that he uses his own head studs in his builds because he thinks they are superior. Obviously everyone is free to do their own research and make their own choices about what components to buy.
