Blown Head Gasket?

You can't reuse stock head studs! Spend the $80 for ARP's and save yourself all this hassle.

Cant = Shouldn't. I know you shouldnt but these have worked fine for the time they have been on the car. Yes im planning on getting some ARPs now and a new metal head gasket. Anyone know the mitsu part number for the evo 3 head gasket?

+1 The bolts stretch when you torque them down. Then stay stretched when you remove them. Then stretch even more when you re-use them.
