Looking For A Stud....

[sloopjohnrb]

Hi
I've got a new cylinder head for my 948cc 1962, Moggie.

The replacement head from ESM, doesn't have any of the necessary studs: Manifold, Thermostat, Heater Tap-15 in all.

I have ordered a Stud Kit from DSN

I have never fitted studs before and am wondering what is the best way to fit them?

I am aware that they have different torque settings and I've got a torque wrench.

Have you any tips on the best way to fit them?
Best wishes

Two nuts locked together - just nip them up firmly.

Also use thread lock (Loctite or similar) so they don't come out every time you get a tight nut!

Many thanks indeed.

You need something on your thermostat housing studs, or, like me, you will get coolant leaking up the thread.
