started installing the head studs from Max yesterday. i used Red thread locker/sealant. that should be good enough.

smear on thread locker....insert stud in and out a few times to really get it good on the threads in the head....double nut the end and tighten down....let sit for a few minutes till the thread locker turns darker color where it pooled at the top....then wipe off....done.

I'm sure there are tons of other ways to do it and other products to use on the threads.

put on 6 on each end and 3 in the middle....cold out there last night. then i sat the head down and spun the cam slow to see if it lifted up. no lift and once the head gasket is on it will lift higher, which is good because after i put the acorn nuts on...they bottomed out without the headgasket. hopefully the headgasket lifts it up enough that i can torque the nuts down or i'll need new deeper nuts, which is odd cause these are pretty deep and pointed more then most i've seen.

the nuts are from industrial depot and are polished SS. the washers are SS from zoro tools.
