Head Studs

Can I change out my head bolts 1 at a time with studs without tearing down the top end? Just curious, Thanks Ian.

It'll warp the head, compromise the gasket, possibly crack the head due to improper cross-torquing, etc... The list is long for this shortcut! I would NEVER do this because I know that I would have to do it again to correct the problems that it caused, plus the additional money that it would cost me....
