ARP Head Stud Issue
ARP Head Stud Issue the back 2 studs on the bottom of the pass side will not fit in/out for me...what are you guys doing to get these studs in? is there some trick i do not know of?
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

no you don't You can set the heads on top of the studs, I did it last december first hand, they wil fit, you just have to be careful.
You most likly have some dirt in a hole, do not force it in, if it's coolant you can crack the block doing that.
