3.0 head studs?
Any downside using studs vs new torque to yield bolts with o ring heads? My 300x with over 400 hrs is slobbering oil on port side, figured was oil tank, yet it's clean. thanks for any guidance.

Ford tried torque to yield head bolts on the 6.0, would blow head gaskets. Went to ARP studs with good results. One of these Merc gurus will let you know

only stud set I can find is mad efi, Chris Carson only carries 2.5. Just don't understand why they wouldn't be superior to cheesy bolts.
