I have a bit of a problem. I bought a drysump system for my LS1 conversion and it's a shallow one, it's so shallow that when I sat it on my engine the studs kept it from touching the gasket. So the way I see it I have two options, either grind the studs down to the nut or replace the studs with bolts. Either way I need to pull the studs. How would I go about this?

All you have to do is double nut the stud. put two nuts on the stud, jam them into each other by turning them opposite directions with a couple wrenches. You will then be able to turn the bottom nut counterclockwise - which jam agains the top one, grabbing the stud and taking it out.

good luck!

Cool, I got them out. I was taking the nut off of one of the studs and the stud just ended up coming out so I tried another and all of them came out that way. Should I use some bolts where the studs were or should I just grind down the extra length on the stud and use them?

It's up to you on which way you want to do that. You could use some allen head bolts also.
