Zip...i read your reply and i do not see where we differ that much...you might need to re-read my post..most of it was saying what you SHOULD NOT DO..could be confusing if you read over it fast.....other than i do not go the loc-tight route.....
now when i placed the head studs on my big block this past time with Big broadie heads you had to buy the head studs for that type head..they were all different lengths....but now this was Big block stuff..
but help me with understanding where this would effect the TQ plate senerio ?..as lomg as you have equal amount of threads at the top of the head with the proper TQing per stud and pattern,,where could it go wrong...
but i am still missing something here ???? :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: ..
lets discuss this a little more ?...
you been doing this a heck of a lot longer than me i am also willing to learn a thing or two..( with all respect)
thanks Brian
