J.,
Thank you for your insightful review of the ARP Custom Age 625+ Head Stud Kit! Your recommendation highlights the superior quality and reliability of these head studs for motor builds. It is valuable to know that you have had no issues when pairing them with the right head gasket, and your advice against using ARP 2000's provides helpful guidance for others aiming for a robust engine build. Your endorsement of the Custom Age 625+ as the minimum quality standard is very informative. Enjoy your build!
Regards,
