Bad tank of gas maybe? Maybe the grenade fairy was just angry at you that day?

Yes, he could have gotten a bad tank of gas too. Or yes, the fairy could have paid him a visit too. LOL

Facing same question as I move to GSC S2 cams. Helpful input. Will wait to replace head studs until I take off head at some point, then do it right vice 1x1. Thanks all.

why bring this back. Headstuds plus install is such a waste of money. It is 2011 now and people are still recommending it for insurance when such a problem never occurs.
