When i took the head off, some of the studs came out of the head. Is there a torque for the studs themselves? Will they torque proper when i put the nuts on them and do the torque for that? Can I just put a couple nuts on the stud and screw it in, install the headers then torque the nut and it will finish snugging up the stud?

 

are the studs and the nut still in the header? and if so you can just theard them back in the head and torque them then. just make sure you dont cross theard them THIS IS IMPOTENT. the torque spec is 9ft lbs

 

some studs came out, i was just wondering if all the studs had to be torqued before you install the headers then torque down the nuts..

 

just thread them in then torque and your good to go

 

yeah and some the nuts stayed on the studs. I just got hte head torqued. Just have to put the headers on, reinstall the thermostat. Put in the cams, shims and lifters and everthing else. maybe ill get to ride it this weekend.. hahah..
