will i have a problem? (head studs)

93cobra670 · May 14th, 2009, 02:25 AM

I'm changing over to head studs and have gotten the swap underway. I cleaned the threads in the block thoroughly (brushed them out, used brake cleaner, chased the threads, and dried them out). Then i installed the studs with arp moly lube on the top holes and with arp sealant on the bottom ones. I ran out of time and had to call it quits here. I didn't lube the top threads on the studs. Am i going to be in trouble in terms of the lube and sealant sitting overnight? Or will i be just fine to install the heads and torque them down tomorrow?

Lube the studs before you torque.
