Damn! That would suck. Thanks for that information...when working aircraft engines, studs would usually get completely inserted and torqued, prior to use. (Which I probably would of done) I wonder if that information comes with the ARP stud kits? Regardless, thanks for letting me know.

IIRC, there are no instructions concerning depth, and the APR studs are tightened to hand tight, then held from turning with an allen wrench while the nut is tightened.
