head studs? Whats the best?

Why is it pushing coolant if you dont have a blown headgasket?

If you are worried about headstuds then whats going through your mind is our head raised, and if your head raised, your headgaskets is blown and is the culprit of pushing coolant.

just wondering whats the best out there or what there is i guess.

Its not pushing coolant under normal driving. It doesnt get hot or anything. Its just under full throttle high boost it does.. if the head gasket were blown id think it would cause a problem during any driving condition?? but gathering from what I hear about heads lifting Im guessing its doing that. But I could be wrong. I didnt build the motor but when I have to take it apart I would like to know whats the best to use to put back in it.

Pushing coolant IS a blown head gasket. It's just not blown enough to let coolant into the oil passages or into the cylinder. My car pushed coolant after about 15k miles on a Mitsu MLS gasket and regular ARP studs. Switched to an OEM composite gasket with a little copper spray and it's been fine ever since. OEM Composite gaskets can hold a lot more than people give them credit for.
