hey guys - tell me about head studs
I have a 340 with an 871 blower on it.
I recently purchased the car and "renovated it", but left the engine alone.
Previous owner put a new set of Jheads on it and used Felpro Blue's.
I have blower motors in my boat and on the engines my friends and I only use Cometic gaskets. A few of my friend told em that SB mopars running a lot of compression should have head studs installed - tell me about head studs please.
1: Should I have studs installed?
2. what are the bolt torque settings for the heads and intake manifold and are there any head bolts that need to be sealed when putting the heads back on.
thanks in advance.
