Head studs

If I installed headstuds can i take my head on and off or do I need new studs each time. Don't know if I can afford rings and studs right now still trying to find a shop to o-ring head in jersey. HX35 is boosting up to 36 psi wich is not a ton but i want to to be safe and set up for my next turbo possibly the 62/13 with the 71 comp wheel by II I think or HT hard to remember all of the turbo stuff all the time.

You can reuse ARP studs, but not stock head bolts. So I understand it

A 62/13 has a 62 compressor wheel....The 71 part is the turbine wheel in the back (hot side).

I would just do a good retorque of your stock head bolts and not worry.
I would avoid O rings or Fire rings with a moderately modified truck. Once you cut a head its cut and if it doesnt work right or starts leaking you have to keep cutting and cutting and cutting....

Call Performance Diesel Warehouse over near hershey, Pa. You will have to drive the head over and drop it off, but Doug will take care of ya and give you the best possible advice without trying to push unnecessary products and purchases on you.
