Head stud, not have enough thread for nut I have a 404 ls2, and am using some milled l92 heads.
My builder used arp head studs for 2 shorter bolts on each head. I ordered some bolts and the kit didnt have any shorter ones.
Basically, I am forced to reuse the head studs which is fine with me.
The threads are hand tight with what appears to be some arp lube. I then put my heads on and one of them seems to work just fine, the other one doesnt have enough length on the threads for the whole nut.
Can I just back the stud out of the block a little bit? I thought they were the same length but i guess something is going on.
