Do you have Head Studs or bolts?...there is a difference.

 

it says studs multiple times and he makes mention of an alen key. I dont know of any head bolts that get tightened with an allen key.

 

yea head studs sorry for confusing..... so i just give them hell and tighten as much as i can?

 

tighten the stud down as much as possible with an allen key, but torque the head down to spec.
