Hi all, I just have a couple of quick questions on the proper way
to install threaded studs in the block (specifically, the ones
the intake and exhaust manifolds hang from).
I had planned to clean up the holes with a bottoming tap, then
turn the new studs in finger tight. Then on go the gasket,
manifolds, & nuts. Torque nuts to spec.
Right? Or do I have to torque the studs down first? (I can't
see how to do that without ruining them.)
Should I use Locktite or anti-seize or anything? Or turn them in
clean and dry (which is what I expect).
thanks!
