hehehe no you wont!
I have no problem using standard bolts and that is what I will use as i'm not prepared to take the risk!
But I like to learn as much as I can! So if someone says stud conversion is no good I want to know exactly why, and so far no one seems to know other than saying they have had failures, which could be down to any number of things.

I think the guy above was talking about ARP head bolts not studs/nuts when he said 66lb then 90°

Gasket compliance is one of the reasons Ford use stretch yes, but if you re-torque stud/nuts after a few miles it's not a problem.
