Head BOLTS or STUDS?

I have an 8N and a 2N, both with front distributors...in the course of overhauling the 2N motor (the 8N block was beyond repair), I've run into the problem that both my engines have studs for headbolts and some of them are pitted and need replaced. When I called the local Ford New Holland dealer's parts man(usually very knowledgable)-all the book shows is bolts,no studs. Anyone know what the deal is? Thanks.

Randy..... ..the only "GOOD THING ABOUT STUDS", is you can remove the cylinder head WITHOUT having to take the gastank off to have room enuff to pull the headbolts outta the engineblock. Go with headbolts, they torque down tighter and less chance of blowin' headgaskets or warping cylinderheads.

Only "bad thing" about cylinder bolts is sometimes little difficult to stopleak'em. But you've gott all kinds of modern pucky to seal'em with so its really not a problem, just a small hassle..... ....Dell

Randy, Put a little tefflon pipe dope on the threads. They go into the water jacket. Put a lite coating of never seez on the bolt shanks.
In case you ever have to remove them again. Torque acording to the sequence in the FO 4 to 65-70 ft.-lbs.

In 1950 Ford switched to bolts because over time of studs turning out and reinstalling them they will be too short. The service manual will give a higher torque for bolts.
