rb20 leaky headgaket

[lexrob]

I posted a while back about the rb I got that had low comp. readings well ive been tearing it down and noticed..... Rad. fluid residue leaking from head gasket around all the cylinders that blew low.haha. Also he said he had boost leak issues and i found all kinds of vaccum hoses with cracks and two ex. manif. studs snapped off in head *any tips with removal****

Anyways ive been trying to source head studs and all i can find is arp. I imagine they are torque to yield bolts. Also is it still believed that the best one is oem compared to tomei. Im planning on shooting for 300hp running i guess a r33 turbo anyways let me know.

sounds like fun...

1)exhaust studs - a super sharp drill bit set and an extractor set...dont use easy outs if you want to actually get them out without a supurb headache.

2)head studs - arp is better than stock and stock bolts should never be reused.
