i am getting 12mm ARP studs delivered on wendssay is there anything special i should know on installing these, i got a few questions like whith the studs installed how are you ever suposed to take the head off?

 

Use a tap to clean the theads to the very bottom of the hole, use arp moly lube to lube the threads and washer. Retorque...retorque and retorque...

 

i know the torque thing im very ainal about my truck so i check things like thirty times. if i ever have to pull the head how would i get itit off if those studs are in there, you dont have enough room to pull the head off them

ive been talking to Justin (9812vCTD) on the idaho bombers forum getting some tips from him so i figured id start a thread of questions for future stud installs

 

sounds like a good idea

 

Taper or bottoming?

 

just a bottum tap

 

if you want to be really **** about it, use a thread cleaner/chaser instead of a tap; a thread cleaner doesn't remove metal from the block but just cleans any debris out of the threads...

 

Bottoming Shane..i did not have one when i did mine so i cut one off to make due.

 

so exactly how would i be able to pull the head at any point with the tsuds on there, there isnt enouph room to pull it off

 

Remove them like a bolt, they are setup to use a allen head on one end of the stud to remove it.
