Do you still have those studs you bought? I think mine came with studs but it wouldn't hurt to still have them just in case. Did you get the Merlin head bolts? You will need 8. Also you need to make sure your new ARP head bolts come with those 4 slightly shorter bolts or you will need to put double washers on those 4 bolts. There is not enogh extra thread on those bolts to get them torqued right. You will have 8 extra washers in the set because the Merlin bolts don't use washers.
