Reading all of this about cylinder head studs, I had a thought: How much do the studs need to be tightened in the block? It would seem to me that if they have a good and proper threads, the threads in the block are good, and the threads have been sealed with the appropriate sealer - they do not need to be very tight - certainly not as tight as the head nuts. The force on the studs when the cylinder head is torqued would be a pulling force. Any thoughts on this?
