ARP Head Studs
Anybody re-use ARP's? My truck is getting torn down and last time i bought new ones instead of risking it. This is the third time my heads are coming off and would like to re-use the studs if i can.

The studs on my truck have been re-used by myself. Re-using ARPs isn't a real issue. One of the beauties of the studs v. bolts(particularly TTY bolts).

Any clue as to why the headgaskets failed after you installed studs? Warped heads? how many miles between the 2nd and this failure?

ya i got some messed up excuse and am waiting for more word on if where i got the heads is gonna cover anything for the labour due to them being from an 05 and mine is an 07 and the injector housing or something was not lined up and they had to take em off and back on and figure the gasket moved in the process because they started leaking within 2 weeks
