<div>I need to replace the head gasket on my 66 BJ8. Moss shows three
different gaskets ranging from $49 to $229. Moss shows a $64 complete kit
for all gaskets including the head gasket. Moss shows short head studs vs
long head studs and they show a "High Strength Head Stud Set" ranging in price
from $8.99 each to $229.99 for the "Set".</div>
<div><br>

<div>I have read (on the Moss site) that ARP makes the high strength
stud. ARP has asked me for the length of the stud, the diameter of the
stud and the thread size. I have also read that Summit sells the
studs and they are asking me the same questions as ARP.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, the questions are what is the info on the stud sizes, high
strength vs regular strength (same for the nuts and washers), long or short
studs, who to buy from, who is the source for the best head gasket (what
thickness) and what else do I need to know. The manual says 75 ft lbs of
final torque in three stages. Should I be a bit more than that or stick
with the book? </div>

<div>As you can see, I really need expert advice before I screw things
