q These instructions only cover the installation and torque sequence/technique of the Head Stud Kit.
q Clean and inspect the Studs, Washers, and Nuts to ensure they are free of shipping damage and obvious defects.
q Clean all threads in the block. It is recommended to use a Thread Chaser on the threads of the block so that they
are completely clean to ensure proper thread engagement and accurate torque reading.
q Lubricate the threads of the Head Studs and install them into the block. Be sure to only screw them in HAND
TIGHT. NOTE: The shorter studs (6.625”) in this kit install along the intake manifold side of the cylindeer head
under the fuel injectors in the #4, #5, #12, #13 position of the factory torque sequence. Look across the tops
of the head studs to see that they all appear to be the same length. If one is taller, remove the stud, clean the
threads in the block and re-install.
q Install the head gaskets and cylinder heads; check for any misalignment.
q Place head stud washers onto the head studs. Then lubricate only the top of head stud washers with Assembly
Lube.
q Lubricate both faces of the Head Stud Washers with Assembly Lube and place them onto the Head Studs.
