Change in plans. Another new build begins

stud nut end has fine threads- do not compare with coarse thread bolts going into cast iron
you do NOT want grade 8 for a water pump they do not stretch enough when theaded into cast iron at cast iron torque limits
therefore they can loose clamp if gasket compresses
you do not want to overtighten -overtorque these bolts - or valve body bolts or carb bolts etc etc

And how much load is there on a waterpump that you think he needs
to be told this.
Did you see his post about chamfering under the head bolts.
I already apologized for bringing this issue into his build thread and you guys jump in with two more. Let's discuss some real tips from a guy with lots of experience building 9 second motors not the 35ft pounds on the water pump bolts.
My apologies again John.
