Tune it right and you won't have to replace either.

If you dont mind replacing pistons...use studs

for head gaskets...use bolts.

We all know that when you boost a stock bottom end or spray it that it may not last too long so why not give it an out so it doesn't kill the bottom end

especially if you're on as low of a budget as the thread starter is

I think you misunderstand the concept behind a cylinder head fastener. If you blow gaskets with studs...the bolts wouldn't have saved them. Explain why you feel the bolts have less clamp than studs?

Yea. no kidding.

a stud is setup to have a better clamping force on the head than a bolt is.Why do you think we run head STUDS in our diesels and not bolts....because at 40+psi of boost it wont lift the heads and it will with the bolts.

studs have much better clamping force over bolts.so under problems with a stud it may lift a ring land,break a piston etc....while with a bolt it may just lift the head or push the gasket out.
