Well, my 10 minute guess may have been a little optomoistic!! They do NOT need to look at the uppper row of studs, they are steel and will be fine. Even at 100 bucks it is money well spent, I just did a top end on a 3.2 and it was not cheap. I have a 3.0 on the stand right now for a customer who did not have the head studs checked prior to buying his car......... guess what I am doing to that motor?!?!?! It is good insurance to have them checked. My guess is they are fine but the pieve of mind is worth something too.... Also, 100 for a leakdown and compression test is a pretty good deal, so think of it as only maybe 65-75 to get the studs checked!
