Yes i was thinking about using a stud and nut kit, but i have a couple of friends that run the same set up as me & they give their car more stick than i do with standard headbolts and GrpA, their h/gaskets have been ok.

Cheers Simon.

PS Can anyone tell me if i can use a WRC or comectic type headgasket as i have a wire rung block ? I have read somewhere that its only advisable to use a Grp A on wire rung block.
