Head Gasket and Head Studs
Just had to rip the head off and replace one of the exhaust valves on cyl 3.
Questions:
1) Do I need to replace all 4 valves for that cylinder or just the one that chipped?
2) I just want to comfirm that I SHOULD replace my head gasket?
3) Do i need to replace my head stud bolts?
BTW my car is pretty much stock with 113k on it and i dont plan on do modding it.
Thanks!!!

2) I just want to comfirm that I SHOULD replace my head gasket?
Yes
3) Do i need to replace my head stud bolts?
there are two schools of thought here and depending on different directions, The first is that you should replace them no matter what because they strech, the second is that if all the threads are even and they hold the torque needed then you can reuse them. I would just save my time and get ARP studs
If you are planning on doing any types of mods to it you should just do everything at once if you can afford it because you dont want to have to spend 6+ hours doing it over if something like that happens again
