Head Studs

[a1l71700]

Okay Fellers,

Let me ask an easy question: What exactly happens to the stock head studs if too much cylindar power is reached? Do they break, stretch or loosen. And what makes the aftermarket head studs better... are they made of a different alloy steel as opposed to the factory ones? If so what?

an after market stud is made up of a better metal, and is stronger, now all the details of the the metal make up is way out of my knowledge range
