    my dad told me that in older cars you shouln't run that more expensive oils like that because of some of the additives in it can do that too your engine.

    ok then...studs for me it is....

    thanks for clarifying that up for me....i ahd heard that you couldnt get the heads to clear the bolts before hitting the shock towers.....

    studs are better anyways...

    especially from keeping the head gasket from moving on you...that was my major fight...one side only has one alignment pin...so yeah...fights...curses...and words....but i finally got it...:)
