Head Studs ??

I recently asked about studs also, I think in one of your threads. It seems not many people are around anymore.

I thought there were at least 2 or maybe three different studs out, being different material and strenghts, but now it seems everyone is using arp's. The standard 12 mm arp's are 449 from summit or jegs, and I ve found them advertised for as low as 395 ish.....

Does the head have to come off to machine the rockers? How much has to come off?

I thought the machining of the rockers was for valve cover clearance. Can we just get taller covers, or clearance the existing covers?
