Default 440 big bore

I have a 99 honda 400 with the big bore kit and the stroker kit, so its a 460 now. its pulling my studs out and I was wondering if i could put a stock head and piston on it with the stroker kit. Any ideas, let me know. Thanks!

Could you just add a thicker base gasket to get rid of some compression our I suppose that a stock head that hasn't been milled would take away a little squeeze too.

Thanks, i have alot of ?s with this so this helps alot.So with that stroker kit, you can run a stock head and piston, I would still want to run high octane fuel then. And my head bolts are pulling, and suggestions on that to.

This happens to alot of the 440's due to the higher compression. Most of them have gone to after market bolts installed.
Achieving higher compression on a 4 stroke is usually accomplished with a different piston, not a shaved (milled) head or thinner head gasket like you would do to a 2 stroke.
You most likely need to have after market bolts installed in your case.
