What is considered the limit on stock head studs? Any reason to not to use them on my low compression 1914 build?

Thanks,

I have used the Berg studs (stock) on my 2303cc W/200HP without no problems at all. Building a motor now with more power with the Berg studs. Basicly they are stock VW studs that have been black oxide. They are very nice. But to answer your question, you should no problem what so ever.

Anyone tryed out the CSP headstuds (M8)
They are just a toch more expensive than orig. VW. But no crom-moly as I understand and coated as the Berg one`s...
