I spoke with a few people and they said they used to sell the two pieced head gaskets. This time around I will cut the gaskets so I can use the stock o ring. You may want to consider cutting the gasket to use the rubber oring. Just a thought.

Studs for sure. With all the disassembly you've been doing chasing the leak, the stockers are probably stretched past the max tolerances anyway. My 1075/10.5 hasn't leaked a drop with APE studs and nuts.
hd studs with nuts make a tight 42 ft/lb sandwich.....
