Head Studs Head Studs Head Studs

After discovering that my neighbors SC had broken a bunch of head studs I thought I'd take a look at my own. To my horror I found 4 broken. I called around a few places and if I drop the motor the cost of replacing the lower studs ranges from $2500 to $4000. However, there is a signicant "while your in there" factor and potentially you could end up with another $2200 in p&cs and also valve guides, chain ramps, etc, etc. Make sure that you check the studs before parting with cash and expect to do this repair at some point in the future. Apart from that the SC is a great car.
Good Luck,
Kevin
