JimEB Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Howdy 🙂I know that cylinder head studs (the ones which fit in the block) should be hand tight, to avoid unnecessary stress, but what about the studs in the cylinder head itself? Should they also be hand tight or locked in (using the double nut method)?Thanks 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocita Rosso Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 You mean the rocker pedestal studs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve AKA vitessesteve Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Generally the things fixed by the studs are being clamped on, so you need to think of the torque applied to the nut/washer combo on the stud. Also need to avoid winding the studs in too far they are holding on to the sides not the bottom of the hole they are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
