That's something you only replace when it breaks

The bolts costs around 899 from Weistec. http://weistec.com/m156studs.html The labor is dependent on who you take it to. It would cost a lot less if you take it to a indy to have them replaced as opposed to the dealership.

i think i saw in weistec site that labor is $2,500 (maybe that's starting, depending on the other things you want).. i was considering to go this route (than buy the extended warranty) but then the amount/price of the warranty covers a lot of things than doing this preventive maintenance. i guess when the warranty done, i'll do this (that's if i still have the car).

IIRC that's WEISTEC labor for complete pistons, Studs, Gaskets,ported heads, And valve buckets... Labor only!
