Well see as I got no answers I went for it and found www.volksbolts.com who sell stainless steal kits with aerotight nuts and studs, abit like studs you get with a mainly custom sump kit. I have had a problem getting the old ones out so will let you know how this works out. Looks like it could be a good modification for ya heads.

Hi David as per email really, let us know how you get on, I have all the tools to remove the old studs but I can't see any probs only some very obsure reason. To be honest as you are putting in new studs some lube on there would make then move in the future but I can't see any need to take them off. Esp using the copper nuts..
