Re:Head Gskt R&R-Raceware Studs

[mike tipton <mtipton@netten.net>]

Dave, I use the raceware head bolts,and conrod bolts, mainly for their 
"reusable feature". 
They are rated at 190Kpsi while stock are 170kpsi.Plus the idea of a 
high tensile bolt "stretching" kinda makes me worry, especially on a 
"big buck" motor, with higher than stock perameters.
 
If it were completly stock, stock boost, etc.., I'd go with the OEM's. 
Even mildly over stock, OEM's.  But high compression, larger 
displacement, high boost, etc.., Raceware's are cheap insurance. 

Plus VW Motorsport,& VWOA, use and endorse them, some dealers even stock
Raceware's.
