Hi all,

A mech. friend brought up that he likes to use bolts instead of stud and nut
combinations when building/rebuilding motors. The benefits according to him
are that a) the bolts won't seize as readily as studs b) much easier to
remove from the block over time c) makes it much easier to remove the head,
esp. if corrosion is present - studs rusting to the head etc. Cons are
harder to initally locate the head without the use of a couple of guide
dowels etc - hardly seems a problem to me.

Has anyone tried this on a B motor? Hmmm... Comments?

Ciao,
Neil.
