Why? I’ve got almost 1000 miles on my stock RAW 66cc and have had no problems with the studs. Besides, torquing bolts directly into aluminum is not the best way.
If you insist, you will have to pull the studs to verify them. I have two RAW engines and they look like they have different parts on them or came from different suppliers. From an earlier thread, it seems that different suppliers use different threads. The best practice is a combination stud with coarse threads into the aluminum casting and fine threads for the nuts that will be torqued onto the other end of the stud.

I concur... I've never had a single problem with them.
Why do you feel you need to replace them??

go to the hardware store,they will verify the tread pitch,perhaps they even have or can get a hardened bolt in the lenght you need it as well

"Hardened" bolts will be overkill. Take them with you to Lowe's or Home Depot, they have a thread guage there by the hardware you are looking for.
Why were you changing them again?
