5.0L (1979-1995) Mustang Technical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.

any reason not to choose this cylinder head stud kit?

no plans.
great, how would you like to mow my lawn?!

ok but seriously. no special plans. just want it to be reliable. use to have a supercharger, i have an ARP box somewhere that i am guessing means when the heads went in, they put in ARP. will find out soon enough i hope.

You dont need to pull the valve covers to see what bolts you have. The bottom row of bolts are visible. Right by the plugs

revisiting this:
so i have ARP bolts.
this means i can re-use them? they dont make arp bolts that are yield to torque or stretch or whatever?
somebody was telling me i would need to check the engine specs to see what type of bolt is required.

If you have ARP bolts you can re-use them after a good cleaning in solvent.
All the normal stuff about bolts applies to them also.......
