-Will them gaskets fit my 440? I think one of my head studs that holds the head on is broke or stripped so i need to replace them.

yes those studs are the right ones.

you need a machine shop to install them for you.

If you dont have any experience drilling and tapping aluminum, definitely get a machine shop to do it, it shouldnt cost much. If you do decide to do it, you have to buy a special tap called a roll form tap. GT Thunder sells those also. A regular tap would make the threads weaker.

Would a Machine Shop mess it up? Like can it be any mechine shop because i know a good mechine shop but i dunno if they have to be a atv mechine shop or just a machine shop that does anything..?

it usually can be any.

i found one it was a guy who did a bunch of cars, motorcycles, dirtbikes, quads, anything and he did it correct to the specs that GT thunder sent to me.

the ones you are getting are the head studs, the ones that hold the HEAD to the JUG, not the JUG to the bottom end.

gt thunder makes the head studs, which need to be put in by a machine shop.
