If so, did u retorque the heads? I used a set on Stag No.1 but never retorqued. Still OK after many years. I have been told the bolts / studs are better in quality and don't stretch and hence retorquing is not needed.
I have used them on many engine rebuilds in fact there the fist choice. Not used on a Stag though. As long as you clean the threads, use their thread lube and the correct torque setting/sequence all should be fine.
ARP items are on another level compared to the rest but I know they did a set for the Stag. On my Stags engine, 1uz, I've used ARP for the con rods, clutch and heads. There wasn't a specific hit I just had to use two sets from a Toyota 4age engine.

If you mark the tops of the fastenings and relax them about one turn and then retorque they'll still go up by a few degrees over the original, the gaskets "relax" (varies depending upon what is used). A retorque is not just about stretching fastenings.
