Well, put the studs in til it hits bottom, put the caps on, then bolt them down per the TSRM pattern to the TSRM spec torque (for the headstuds, use more torque...how much depends on who you ask). The "stud" itself isn't really torqued when installling, the nut is...

Ok, first -

a "STUD" is a rod, threaded on both ends.

Head studs hold the head in place.
Main studs hold the crankshaft (well, the main caps) in place.

Please look up the difference.

It doesn't matter which you install first, main studs or head studs, they are holding down two completely different things and will not have any effect on each other if one is installed before the other....
