I would go with the OEM head bolts. The CS turbo isn't big enough to require upgraded studs. Even being pushed with meth. IMO of course.

+1 on the OEM head gasket though.

I swear I read a few times that pop-n-drop rebuilds haven't been that durable.

damn auto correct I meant Cometics Head Gasket. But either way Why OEM? and or are you just referring to size?

and Ill have to look into more the reliability of the pop and drops! My Dad is a custom Hot Rod builder, built more motors than i care to think about and was a big deal in the early to mid 90s, so he's helping me tear it apart and put it together. We shall see what needs to happen, hoping all clearances are there and just needs to be honed.

But i know thats a pipe dream

To do a compression test does the car have to be warm or can i do it on a cold start or doesnt matter?..
