Re: cylinder head stud torque

JW, I've replaced lots of studs on L-head cylinder blocks and didn't do anything special. I shellaced the threads, threaded them in until the thread bottoms out, and then used my stud installer/remover and just gave them a reasonable snug with the wrench; I never measured the torque I applied to the studs but I probably used just an ordinary 10" 1/2" drive ratchet, so certainly far less than 60 ft-lbs, perhaps in the 10-20 range.

Picture of one of many types of stud remover/installers just for those not familiar with them.
