There are only 2 reasons why someone would want to add head studs to their motor.

1.) Their head has lifted and their head gasket is blown.
2.) They want to prevent 1.)

If you are #1 then you need remove the head anyways to replace the head gasket. If you are #2 then by replacing the head bolts with studs WITHOUT REMOVING THE HEAD will compromise your head gasket integrity and turn you into #1.

Dont ghetto it. Do it right.

Did it on a friends 2G Eclipse. 450 WHP and holding just fine for over two years now.

Do them 1 at a time if you do it this way.
