basically, did anyone add arp studs to their 7m without removing the head and without replacing hg?it would be that you would do one stud at a time when all stock bolts are loose but not removed...may sound dumb and confusing but its a thaught.or should i just pick up a oem toy head gasket?

Furthermore, studs need the bolt holes cleaned first using a bottoming tap. It's tough to find one long enough to do that with the head still on...

I *have* seen guys do this with ARP bolts, but I'm with IJ on the uselessness of it.
