How to Install Head studs?
How do you install head studs step by step. I heard something about torqueing them down driving for a while then retorquing.

You should pull your head and put on a new gasket and then put in the studs and retorque to factory specs

I wanted to get a aftermarket gasket and springs and do the whole works. But the new springs and gasket on the dodges are insanely strong especially the gasket on the new dodges.

I have heard of a few people that have done it without lifting the head, but it leaves 2 much for chance, it only takes a small error and you have a leak, = bad
