so I picked up a 1981 xs400 heritage special 2 in trade for a bbq. The po told me the engine was ruined due to a poor top end rebuild where he used high temp rtv on everything causing the low oil light to kick on .so I decided to tear the engine down to get to the bottom of the issue. I found no damage to crank, cam, gears or bearings. So here is my question, do I need to replace head studs? If so where do I get new ones? I was able to split the case with only removing one con rod so I assume I need to replace those bolts as well. Any tips are appreciated. Once I get the engine back together and running, I will the start modifications.
