Message	diameter studs? I know that the multi-layer cometics need to be machined to accomadate larger 1/2" studs on SR's, so I assume something needs to be done for your headgasket??? Also, do you think there is enough material around the larger 9/16's tapped hole? Could you helicoil the hole to have a greater bite in the block??? Finally, will the 9/16's washers fit in the heads recessed seat or do these need to be bored to a larger diameter. Thanks
