rods just dont break, you can spin a bearing, seize up, and break the rod. you can hydro lock the motor and snap the rod, if the wrist pin seizes in the piston it can snap a rod but your really not gonna experience any of that if you maintain oil level, pressure, a good tune that doesnt detonate. i...

IT really depends on what your building. When we did our first 8 second pass the head was entirely stock. Then we upgraded cams, port job and some springs/retainers.

In short, for a street car, the factory head is perfectly fine.

We use the gaskets all the time. The best way to handle those bolts is to just use some thread lock but it has to be the high temp one since those studs get pretty warm.
