[Shop-talk] Head studs

[Pat]

I wouldn't use locktite on my head studs, sometimes you need to take the 
stud out to get the head off if corrosion has set in between the head 
and bolt We have this trouble on the Datsun Roadsters  (1962-1970). The 
aluminum thermostat tower is secured with steel studs to the head. If 
the tower stays on for more than a few years it is almost impossible to 
get it off without damaging it. The Roadster crowd has been going to 
bolts to hold it on and coating the bolts with anti-seize compound. 
Makes things a lot easier to work with later.

Peace,
Pat
