Be VERY careful when not using the correct studs, the correct ones have a waisted end on them, this prevents them from being overtightened unless really dopey and heavy handed, just be sure to use a torque wrench, heads have been known to crack when done up to tight with studs, the exhaust studs on the yb are amazingly close to the water ways.
