I would wait and use the studs, you could probly use the bolts but it would be better to just clamp that gasket down with your studs. Its really not good to do the one at a time stud swap. I wouldnt wana put any heat cycles on the new gasket and then go back and clamp it down even tighter. youve got money invested in a new gasket and machine work. Id wait for the studs, put it all together and have some peice of mind. make sure you do a hot retorque.
