Quick question...
After letting the car sit for a year.. I decided to finally get this car going again.
I went to thread in my ARP studs (bought from a member here so no instruction sheet)... When threaded in the block, hex hole on the top of the stud, there is roughly 1/4" of threads above the deck surface of the block. I figured it could be dirty threads... but every hole is the same. Just to make sure, I snugged them with a wrench (will back them off and go back to finger tight only) and they were all bottomed out.
Do I have the wrong studs or is this common?
Every set of ARP studs I've used on other builds, they thread completely into the block and the smooth portion of the stud is at the deck surface.
Anyways.. I did search a bit and I found one person saying it was normal... but wanted to verify.
Thanks!
