Re: 282 head stud installation:

In order to get a positive seal to the water jacket you need to screw them into the block until all the thread is in the block, i.e. there is no thread left exposed and the stud has "bottomed out" against the block. I use Indian Head shellac as a sealant, can't say I've ever had a leaker.
If you're concerned that one might be a bit taller than the others, just lay them on a table and compare the lengths that will protrude from the block.
As to how tight, I never looked for a spec, I use a standard stud installer with a 10" long 1/2" drive socket drive and just go until they are firmly planted; if I had to guess, maybe 25 lb-ft. but certainly nothing more than that.
