You all are great, I really appriciate all the replies!! Well, At least you made a non-laughing situation into one I can at least smile about. I understand that with the stud kit I can't do any head work without removing the engine. Has anyone you know used these with any amount of success? I also will look into the o-ring as brought up in an earlier thread. OK, HERE IS THE SOLUTION YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR...................... EVER SEE THE ALUMI-WELD PRODUCT ON TV? LETS ALL JUST WELD THE D*MN THINGS ON.....I KNOW, I'M NOT MUCH HELP. Best of luck to all. Steve:banghead:

I am rebuilding an EJ25 Phase two engine with DOHC Heads in my 97 2.5GT. I want to make the headgaskets as bullet proof as possible, any suggestions? I plan on using a head stud kit, and updated gasket from subaru dealer unless there is a better way? In the past, I have blown 3 sets of head gaskets, thankfully all but one was covered under warrenty. Thanks in advance for the help!! Steve
