i was kinda thinkin about getting the head o-ringed and put the 60bls springs in and using the mighty deisel head bolts to hold it all together for now-until i can get the money for head studs. im not going to be running more than 55psi of boost max and maybe 18*s or so

If your going to pull the head, and you plan to put studs in why not wait till you have the studs to pull the head?

ok, its way easyer to bottom tap the bolt holes with the head off thats why I think you should wait untill you get the studs to pull the head

yes with the 12mm studs you should bottom tap the holes, I don't see why you could not bottom tap the holes and use stock bolts.

Just to be clear, you can bottom tap the holes yourself. The tap cost like 20-30 bucks, as like I said its way easyer to do with the head off and takes about 1/4 of the time to do it.
