Andrew my problems with head studs snapping arose as a result that for some absurd reason they drilled the the head studs into the block right into the water jacket ! so with a bit of water pressure voila you get water weeping up through the threads... my advice would be is if the studs can come out without sheering off like mine i would take them out clean the threads and put some thread lock/sealer on the studs and wind them back in, job is a goodun.
i have no doubt there will be other fixes for this issue... perhaps nipping up the stud a bit more will do the trick...i would worry about threads pulling or the stud letting go though.
