Do the studs at the thermostat housing have to be removed to get the head off a WD. I think not but the head seems to extremely stuck with these still in. If yes, how do I get them out? I have tried double nutting with no success. Also, when I put my new head gasket on (I hope), is a sealer recommended? Obviously my first time at this.

Thermostat on a WD is at the front end of the water manifold. Do you mean the four bolts that hold the manifold? No matter- the head comes off without removing any studs. All you need to do is remove the nuts from the studs and lift up the head. In regard to sealer- follow the recommendations of the manufacturer of the gasket. Should come with the gasket. Some use a copper-based spray for metal gaskets, usually nothing with paper gaskets. Years ago, with the real metal gaskets, we always used gasket compound.

Yes, the head does have problems coming off those two bolts. Those are the only two I have ever had any trouble with and have always been able to get the head off finally, with patience. Rust does get to those two bolts and it makes the head removal trying sometimes. Use some lubrication like WD40 or similar and get trying/prying. I have used an air tool to tap the head while pulling the head up, but usually oil and some heat on the bolt will get the rust to break loose and let the head come off.
