Re: stock head studs Yeah, the oem style head bolts use an allen head.

Re: well thats lame Damn.. The auto car I bought had the same thing, I bet the compression was probably 185ish instead of the 155 it should have been with the T on the end. Oh well, it's still a good block and you can always build it with better internals later. It should feel peppy off boost with the higher compression n/t pistons.  _________________-Dustin 1992 Tsi Auto Swapped 10.67@126mph

Re: well thats lame Yea she runs great off boost I think its a turbo block too though so I'm not too worried I'm only looking for 350 hp anyways so I'm shure it will handle it untill I can afford pistons and rods
