then why does al push for them when ur getting a simple flash

 

No way!

 

now call me dumb but what does "pulling the head" entirely entail? i've been debating my options for power upgrades between meth or green turbo and thought headstuds were absolutely needed......least that's the impression I was under.

 

oh yeah i agree 100% if upgrading turbo or to meth when changing cylinder pressure by alot... but not when u have average bolt ons with a flash

 

Yeah I would not even THINK of putting head studs on a bolt-on/flash car

 

It means just that. Taking the cylinder head off the car. Removing intake manifold, timing belt, yada. Its a sh*tty job for the most part. Not so much difficult as it is time consuming and annoying.

 

^and I thank you for that information. Def does sound like a time consuming job. i'm just trying to learn slowly but surely more and more about the 4g63 motor.

 

If the one by one method is not good then why is it that reputable shops like Buschur do it this way?

If it seriously screwed up EVO's then why would Buschur who seems to be the king of the Evo's treat the cars this way? It does not make sense to me, some please explain.

 

Apparently he thinks it is OK I guess....Ask him lol not us....that said, he would likely say it is better to do it the traditional way by removing the head, ensuring it is true , and using a new gasket...

 

i was told use the same gasket

 

I was told by Jerrod @ Buschur that is it perfectly fine to change the head studs without removing the head. That most people do it this way. I guess I just don't understand.

 

thats the way i would do it...and i never came across a problem that someone had doing it that way

 

replacing headstuds without pulling the head?

 

I also had mine done with the 1x1 method without pulling the head about a year ago and daily drive my cars without an issue since.

 

exactly, ive never came across a case that had a problem with the 1x1 method and stretching the stockers on a flash
