he sells both. but if your talking about the cheaper ones (200 dollar range), theyre just head bolts. studs have a much stronger holding strength, the head bolts are kind of like a stronger version of the stock bolts.

if your really that unsure on doing it try and find someone to help you. because if you dont do it right you can mess up your headgasket, and replacing that is ALOT more work than replacing one bolt at a time

Headstuds arent bad but they are time consuming because there are 26 of them. And you need to have a real good torque wrench.

You also have to remove the intake rocker on all 6, I believe it torques down to 27 ft lb. when you put it back on. I cant even retorque my studs w/o removing intake rocker, Does everybody have this issue or is mine a "special one"? I never hear any talk of that when guys are talking about installing studs?
