1916 head studs
satori - May 30th, 2013 at 06:38 PM

When removing the heads on my 1916 a few of the head studs winded out of the case instead of the nuts coming off. Im now reinstalling the heads and was just wondering whats the go with the studs. Do I need to 'lock tight' them or torque them before torquing the heads? Thanks

A drop of loctite on cleaned threads should do the trick

Seconded that... Just make sure they match the length of the other studs...
