nightshift customs 95 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 So I replaced the head gasket on my ls vtec turbo and now it runs like crap and hardly won't start and leaks antifreeze into the cylinders. Someone said that you have to replace the head studs when you replace the head gasket. Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastigir Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 wrong i race honda for a living and OEM bolts are reusable. Thank you. Wrong, OEM head bolts are torque to yield, which means once they're torqued, they're stretched and unuseable. I would highly recommend, nobody follow any future advice from this idiot.
