i'm gonna put my new engine back together but i've got a head that's too much skimmed already and because of that i need to use a multilayered headgasket (have to figure out compression ratio for thickness)
i want to use this with an arp stud and nut kit on my 200 block now have i heard from some people don't do this because block will crack and other people say that nothing's wrong with a stud and nut kit
what is th best to do use 1 or use standard bolts with a multilayered headgasket?

 

I would say not all crack but why chance it i did have it and was lucky the reason it cracks is there to strong and do not move with the heat making them cause the cracking

 

am going long studs in mine safer since i,ve heard the same

 

going for standard bolts thanks
