Yep. Depends on the application and where the studs are (ie exhaust side of head) and/or what metal they are in. (Steel stud in aluminum) Some I was pulling the other day are glued in, oh what pain… double nutting is not fun when your pulling a hundred or so studs at a crack.. this head has 44 studs, I did 4 heads the other day. Guess my math was a little off…
