Engine rebuild : head studs question
Hi guys, I'm now rebuilding my '87 3.2 engine (180k miles, first engine drop), I got one broken lower head stud so I need to replace them all for a good measure. So I have a couple of questions:
1- how do you feel about using a set of 12 used upper studs that I removed from my other 3.2 case which I used ARP instead (was a boosted setup)? I heard that the 3.2 doesnt have any issues with the upper studs, just the lower dilavar ones. doing so would save quite a bit of the rebuilding cost.
2- Do I have to use new barrel nuts and washers for the head studs?
Thanks!
