You could always change them out one at a time. Should help it, but it could already be damaged. Mine went under less boost and was blown between every cylinder.

you dont have to change the gasket but it is a wise decission. the studs are definatly worth the money becasue there reusable rather than the bolts after they stretch there scrap metal

you can do them one by one. just pull the stock one out insert the stud and torque it in the 3 stage sequence and you will be fine. on the rocker towers you will eather have to mill the towers i belive i didnt do it but i should have

the 12v and 24v are different heads and the 24v studs don't mount to a rocker.
