capscrews do look more pretty than head studs, but you'd have to re-consider the torque tightening values as a minimum

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

I think it's a maniflow item, basically it's a tubular horse shoe shape which only uses half the carb. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

That Engine above is in James Coulson's mini7, engine is built by Dave Wells from SH engineering. Dave also used these bolts on the Miglia engines, he told me he has never had a single head gasket failure. Having said that, are ARP head studs needed?? I've never needed them, and I've not had head gasket problems for years. Edited by Jimster on 20th Aug, 2007. On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:
