question about arp headstuds So, tonight I was putting my motor together, and I started threading my headstuds down. I don't think I have the right ones, because the go damn near all the way in the block before they start threading. Seems the should be a lot longer. I measured the stud, it's 5 1/8" long. The motor is a 04 5.3L and the stud kit I have is 234-4317. What is going on?

Are all the bolt holes the same depth?
If the answer isn't the same for both, then yes you have the wrong studs.
I went through this, my 5.3 block came out of a 04 truck but it still used the 03 and under different length head studs...
I'm thinking I got an earlier 04 engine which was assembled in 03 and they still haven't crossed over to the all same length studs yet..
