Default Re: Head Gasket

As far as replacing the studs, should I go with the Grade 5 or 8?

I would think 5's would be easier on the block if an issue popped up, but 8's would be stronger with less stretch. I'm currently running a stock head but there is a good chance that I will go to a high compression head at some point in the future. If that's the case, ... should I just go with the 8's?

What are the Stock studs graded at?

Regards
Bill
