HKS 1.2 headgaskit, 87mm bore and ARP head studs.

I've got the spec above and after reading a few threads I'm a little concerned. How much of a problem have I got and what should I do about it?

How long has it been like that, how much power do you make...

I'd ditch the head studs and fit new standard head bolts personally.

But they maybe OK if the head gasket does go then swap them then if they're already fitted,

5 years, around 10k miles at around 3-320hp. Plan is/was to swop turbo, injectors, maff and nistune for a reliable 450hp.

No point in changing them for the sake of it, If the head does lift then like I said before swap them when & if it happens.

Thanks, bit of relief there. I'll do a comp. test on it to be sure and press on, just didn't want to cut a channel through the block.

Danny or Ed will give you the correct advice when they see this.
