theres no trick to installing these, you should be able to thread them in with your fingers, you just need to aply arp lube when putting them in, or oil.. personally i thread them in with my fingers and then use a allen wrench to put them all the way in.

Are you trying to install them with the heads already on the block? If so, that's your problem right there. You have to install them without the head, then just place the head on the block after all the studs have been threaded in. If you're trying to thread them in without the head, then maybe you just need to clean the threads out some more.

no...the threads are fine....and with the motor in the car you have to thread them in like you would bolts....
what i am saying is that there is no room to get them into the back 2 holes with the head on the car because of clearance
