<p class="x_MsoNormal">I respect your collective advice and experience. The 4A’s head is at the machinist for a cleanup (head gasket failure). Would any of you re-use the head studs, or would you replace them? They are likely original, and even if not, have
been in place for at least 25 years. I have my thoughts on this, but am interested in yours.</p>
