I know I torqued them with my torque wrench. I really hope I put anti seize on them too. I think I did. Hopefully in a couple weeks I can get to it. Right now I'm working hard to get this 7.3 night mare truck finished.Ryan

I threaded the studs in by hand. Bottomed them out and backed them out an 1/8 of a turn. Then torqued the nuts on top.

Great Ryan-you can not believe how many engines we've gotten in that they had torqued the head/main studs into block with tq settings for the nuts--------especially bad for the mains as it puts tremendous stress into block right near crank/cam bores and then add the force from the engine running-----and they wonder how come the bottom blew out???????

Hmm. I didn't know that.
Not that I've done any studs, but it's good to know..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

A lot of quality studs actually have a BALL end on them( sorta like a push rod tip) so they will bottom out in a threaded blind hole and you can back them off a bit-then the pull is directly and evenly on threads instead of jammed together in the bottom of hole -also its a good idea to BOTTOM tap the blind holes so threads don't interfere too bad.

Thanks Jerry for posting that. It's kind of weird all the attention the car has been getting from a video a guy made a few weeks ago from Byron, Il in 2012.Ryan

Wiring can be a pain. My problem is I get in a groove and have a plan and then get sidelined to another project and when I come back I forget what the heck my plan was.
