Head Studs?

Any easy way to find out if my 06 250 has ARP studs in it?Nothing from the oasis reports says anything but the truck has a lot of after market parts so im thinking they were done but maybe thats why he sold the truck?I have a little puking when my foot gets heavy but it still has the EGR cooler i think thats the problem.Anyways just thought id check to see if there is a way to check for ARP studs.

Look at the head just below the valve cover, if it has studs you will see the stud with the nut torque on it. If it has factory bolts you will just see the hex of the bolt.

i would check the cap (just to be sure) maybe when the HG's blew and they studded the truck they used the same cap. i was told by a mechanic that if the cap has leaked before that it will never seal as tight. new caps are only like $13 and anything with the EGR co$t$ more
