I think that he is referring to a cylinder head stud that is other than what is typically called the cylinder head studs. The long studs that are threaded into the case are called cylinder head studs. However, the studs that hold the cam towers to the heads are also cylinder head studs (by definition). The exhaust studs that hold on the heat exchangers and the intake studs that hold on the manifolds are also called cylinder head studs.

If you read his post more carefully, you will see that he is talking about the studs in the heads that are used to hold on the cam towers. When he says he torqued 17 of 18 studs, it's a dead giveaway, because if he was talking about the head studs that mount in the case, he would have to torque 12 of them.
