Well looking for some feedback here. I was installing my 10th headstud kit on an AHU today and on the last bolt swap I was at 110ftlbs and the stud popped the threads out of the block! I couldn't believe it that cylinder 1 rear outer bolt would do that. I presume there was prior underlying issues with it as both the old bolt and the arp stud had no indications of problems. The only thing I can deduce is maybe the block itself had a bad or partial thread install.
anyways, on to the fix options!
All fixes that I am finding look like they need to have the head removed, Something I was hoping to avoid considering the fresh turbo and all new gaskets. The two main kit types I see are:

Has anyone had any luck with either and holding 28psi?
any other kits or suggestions?
I believe they are m12x1.5 pitch?
