Doing a head bolt swap job soon.

A friend and I are going to be swapping head bolts out to Weistec ARP studs in a few weeks. I'm wondering if there is enough interest that I share the job with everyone to see how it's done and what's needed?

If I end up keeping my car I will do it soon. It's not a difficult job but sure, I'd be interested in hearing the "gotchas" you run into.

I know there was a posting quite a while ago I found searching showing this, a step by step guide would be cool.

I'm completely unmechanically enclined though so I doubt I tackle something that big but I love reading about it

Also subbed. Every pre-2011 will probably want to do this at some point for safety. With you writeup dont forget to include total cost & time! Thanks man!!

You should also change the tappets to the SLS version. Part number for a 2010 is A 156 050 02 25.
