Did this item work well with your project? What vehicle type are you using this for? The use of studs and nuts on my Rover V8 (Triumph TR7/V8) instead of torque to yield bolts is a good option for a home workshop cylinder head removal/replacement. For someone with limited experience of torque to yield (tty) bolts the end point on each part of the tightening sequence seems to lack precision and hence confidence that the work has been done accurately. With studs and nuts, the click point of the torque wrench for each step offers precision and consequently confidence. The added bonus is that the use of studs makes mounting the gasket and cylinder head damage risk free. They are well worth the extra cost as unlike the tty bolts they are not a throw away item if future cylinder head removal becomes necessary.
