              Lots of benafits to it and I cant see any real downside, If you have the budget it is worth every penny.

                  get it long studded and decked so you can use a multi layer steel gasket.

                    Only regret with my engine build is I didn't long stud it. So limited to go any further into the 400 mark. But it's still a very fun spec and reliable.

                    You will most likely want to go for more power though, so long stud it and you won't have as many limitations. Everything else around the engine becomes weak

                        Every time, don't scrimp on a relatively small cost to end up cracking your block

                          unless you are going high boost (+1,8bar), no need. stock bolts and group A/0611 will do the job
