Should really pull my finger out & finish thin engine anyway, i think the missis has put my long stud instructions is a safe place......
therefore i just need to check which way round the stud go's & the torque,
one end of the stud is thicker, is this the end that go's into the block? also i take it the o ring sits in the groove in the centre of the stud? Sorry for my ignorance but its the first time i've used long studs

 

yes the o ring goes in the groove of the stud

this is due to when the block is machined for long studs they go through the water jacket of the bores i was told

also arnt the threads different each end so will only go one way

could be wrong though

 

the threads are the same, i belive the torque settings are lbs/ft then 90 degrees, then the nuts are 115-120 lbs/ft

 

havnt a clue on the torque settings unfortuantly mate

my studs are still wrapped up

 

thats were mine may go for a few more weeks
