head studs
im putting my head studs in the block. ARP says to hand tighten them and when i do that they all go in at different depths. some only go in a few turns while some bottom out.
Does this matter? should i hand tighten them like this and then bolt everything down? or should i use an allen wrench to bottom out all the head studs?

a guy at speedway motors told me to torque them down to about 15 ft 1bs of torque. I havnt done it to my B18 yet. Call ARP and do a bigger search here on HT.

Re: head studs (_BEN_)
i know, i would have done that, but it tells you to hand tighten them?
Do you think it would matter?
Im guessing they just dont want you to tighten too far into the block.

Yea, that's after you know the threads are clean. The studs should all be the same height, don't do a half-assed install. A tap at sears or autozone will cost $10.
