Please Read Instructions before starting installation. If you don’t feel confident that you can complete this task, do not start it and seek professional help!
- These instructions only cover the installation and torque sequence/technique of the Head Stud Kit.
- Clean and inspect the Studs, Washers, and Nuts to ensure they are free of shipping damage and obvious defects.
- Clean all threads in the block. It is recommended to use a Thread Chaser on the threads of the block to ensure they are completely clean.
- Lubricate the threads of the Head Studs and install them into the block. Be sure to only screw them in HAND TIGHT. Look across the tops of the head studs to see that they all appear to be the same length. If one is taller, remove the stud, clean the threads in the block and reinstall.
- Install the head gaskets and cylinder heads; check for any misalignment.
- Place the Head Stud Washers onto the Head Studs and lubricate the top face of the Washer and the Stud threads with Assembly Lube.
- Lubricate the mating face and threads of the Head Stud Nuts with Assembly Lube and install them onto the Head Studs tightening them HAND TIGHT.
- Snug all Head Stud Nuts on the Head Studs, then follow the torque sequence below in a 3-step process for torquing the Head Stud Nuts.
1. The first round tighten nuts 1-18 – 25 ft lbs.
2. Then repeat the sequence 1-18 – 50 ft lbs.
3. Followed by 1-18 – 125 ft lbs.
- The amount of Head Stud threads showing above the Head Stud Nut should all be about the same. If one appears to have more thread, the stud is most likely not all the way in the head.

Bolts with Assembly Lube and install them following the torque sequence below
in a 2-step process going from inward-out.
