Raceware head stud / Widefire Gasket opinions
Hi all,
After diagnosing that my overheating problem is due to a leaking head gasket, I will have to start planning the HG job. I have read good things about the Raceware head studs and Widefire head gaskets over stock. The other reason I am leaning towards aftermarket is because I am having a heck of a time finding the parts for an 1989 944 n/a. Has anyone else used these parts and what were your experiences with them? Good and bad appreciated.

I have raceware and widefire together -- classic combo. I had some tuning problems that blew a few gaskets, but seem to have it dialed in now. Getting the original studs out is no picnic. See HG write-up at link below.
