So you are saying that a head stud can tell the difference if it is mounted in a flat six or V8 or I4? Wow, those really are amazing head studs.
As far as Porsche still selling them, so what? They also kept selling 996s and 997s, knowing full well that a very large numbers of IMSs were going to fail.
Rather than saying "because Porsche", give me a logic or engineering based argument why failing Dilavar studs should be used rather than steel. The difference in expansion rate between steel and dilavar is in the range of approximately .002". If you use studs with 1.5mm thread pitch, then that would be the equivalent of an additional 12* of torque. 12* would probably add another 2-3 ftlbs of torque. You will easily get that much difference using different assembly lubes on the threads. That will not cause significant enough pressure on the cylinders to cause warping.
Your argument please!
