Studs are reqiuired for the rockershafts.

Bolts will qquickly strip out the rockershafts on Ed heads. Studs are nice for the headbolts, as they tend to be more accurately torqued than head bolts and the hardened washer of the studs distributes the load over 7/8" diameter instead of the bolt's 3/4" contact patch.

Having said that, stock head bolts are pretty reliable with iron heads but the softer aluminum would appreciate the washer.
