  I noticed a stud that would not tighten so I am guessing that I will have to helicoil that stud and thus my head gasket is garbage.
  

  
  Never heard of helicoil for a stud.Have to change the stud if its the problem or if your lucky just the nut stripped out.
  

  
  A helicoil replaces the pulled thread in the aluminum.  You can screw a stud or a bolt into a helicoiled thread.  We have repaired hundreds of stud holes with helicoils.
