Steel head studs are perfectly fine (and sometimes preferred) for a stock or modified motor. Some of the aftermarket head studs are only for aluminum cases since they use much higher torque specs.
Porsche didn’t always get it right the first time around and changes like tensioners are a worthwhile upgrade. You won’t go to Porsche hell if you use them on a stock engine. |
