Just some FYI:

I used VW ARP head studs sold by frsport.com. The reason they gave me was, it's slightly longer and will make up for thicker head gaskets. It fits and holding fine on my SR. Tip, when lubing the head studs, don't get any on the ends that go into the block. If you do, the lube will not compress and you'll get inaccurate torques. Meaning keep the lube on the threads.
