They don't have any cometics available. I live down the road from a summit racing. Everything says Nov 17. Doesn't mean it wouldn't be quicker, sometimes they exaggerate the lead times.
Yes it has headstuds. If the machine shops can do a basic resurface in a reasonable time frame. But so far everyone says they're months out and to be honest I don't trust any of the machine shops in my area. But I'm still not putting them back without being surfaced.
Might have to go on a road trip.
