I don't wish to scare anyone bout head studs, but I have it from a very reliable source that they are only good for racing where the engine is gone through a lot. I bought a set for my 401 thinking of better head seal but was told they cause water seepage over time. My Machinist said it wasn't a good idea and told me to get ARP head bolts instead.
