I guess it's just a matter of preference...they come with assembly lube, you need to use it to get correct torque readings.

Does anyone have any problems with getting there heads on with the motor still in the car? I was just concerned that there would not be enough room with the studs sticking up to get the heads on and off.

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of putting studs in, if you have to take them out to get the heads on? I maybe need to clarify. If the studs are in the block sticking out is there enough room to put the heads on?

With the hex in the stud you can easily take them out if you need to. A nice touch if you ask me..oh wait, you didn't.

I did NOT have close to enough room to get the heads on the car with the studs in. I didn't even have enough room to get the heads on with the top row of studs in. I had to put the heads on and use every single stud like a bolt, and then like a nut on a stud. So pretty much I'm installing every one twice. Not to mention they provide me with no advantage to using them when changing heads since I'd have to pull the studs out. So I'm just going to use ARP head bolts.
