hey guys ia got a problem i am reinstalling my new oring head with 12m studs well i left the studs out put the h/g on the block then lowerd the head down on to the block and then went to install the studs well i got all of them in but the back four the last to on the exhast side and the very last 2 at the back of the head i have tryed everything so could someone help me out with how to get the last for of these studs in thinks mike!!!

 

theres 2 plugs up in the cowl above the back of the engine....pull them first. that may do the trick. if not I removed mine a weeks or so ago and had to put a prybar on the edge of the cowl and just give it some lovin' to get the last 2 out. probably have to loose that insulation from the firewall too. I pulled that stuff off the 1st time I set the valves. all that junk dust floating down on the engine not cool.

 

yea i got the little plugs out i mean i have tryed every angel to get them back studs in but not work so take a pry bar and pry up on the cowl is that what ur saying??

 

thats what I did to get them out this last time. when I installed them then all went in with no prying, but it was pretty tight. granted when I took them out a few weeks back I was in no mood to pussyfoot around so I went straight to the 42" prybar and they came out fine. nothing broke.

 

I didnt have a bit of a problem with mine, i didnt even pull the plugs. Is there something else in the way?

 

thinks for all the help guys i bout to go start back on it no there really aint nuthhin eals in the way but thinks again

 

loosen the cab mounting bolts and lift the cab an inch or so. It wont hurt a thing and then you can just tighten everything back up!
