The biggest down side to pining is the rocker stud diameter you cant change it - if you get an ARP thread type insert it comes in 2 sizes i believe 3/8 and 7 /16 the larger is a better deal for high end combos -- jz

Yeah I didn't have any info on pinning studs back when I wrote that but you're right. Pinning the studs is easy, you can get a kit with the roll pins and drill bit and just drill throught the stud boss and hammer the roll pin in. But that creates a great place for the studs to crack and it's still a weaker stud. I'm not sure if the link I posted above for the studs is still valid but they were 7/16" threads into the head vs. the stock 3/8".
