Well, whaddya know - a homemade MB.  Complete with a dead #1 stud, and
probably a dead #5 that he hasn't found yet.

Studs re-used when head replaced?  False economy.  Another ten hours
of labour to get the thing back off and to a machine shop for the stud
to come out, plus a head gasket set and new head bolts.
