good luck with it buddy, hopefully someone will give you a definitive answer on the head studs. As I say, im sure you should use new ones but not sure if you'd get away with using the old ones.... dont want another gasket going from corner cutting eh

92-95 head bolts are stretch bolts and are not designed to be re-used although some people do.

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but i just had to re-RE-do my headgasket
First time out, I *did* re-use the old head studs because I knew no better, and lo and behold, a year later I had to re-do the gasket.
So thats one person voting for " don't re-use ".....
This time out I bought ARP studs and went that route. I apparently need to re-torque them though?
I've run it probably 6 or 7 times since the gasket re-do.
Totally off topic, but the gasket between the header and downpipe is todays chore....

normal driving is fine. don't forget to re-torque if you used head studs.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I was just wondering what else should I replace when I do my headgasket? I know the timing belt, water pump, and belt tensioner, but what else? I have a mini me z6

I wouldn't bother with the oil pump unless rebuilding the bottom end. I would replace the head studs as they are stretch bolts on these motors - or replace them with ARP head studs.
