[TR] Head studs issue

With the TR2 engine out and head off, I decided to remove one of the studs 
where I had seen water bubbling up while the engine was running, I discovered 
water/liquid in the bottom of the stud hole, removed them all and the same in 
all. Cleaned them out copper grease on the thread and put them back, I guess it 
is OK to use copper grease here? The worrying issue is the amount of corrosion 
on two of the studs, at the top of the thread (block end) These are new studs 
from Moss UK, and remembering this engine has not run more than a mile and some 
stationary running in the garage. This is clearly a quality issue, not for the 
first time when buying from the "big boys". Can anybody tell me where I might 
buy some GOOD QUALITY studs.
