Top Knotch cool head

It should also be noted that it's extremely important to tighten them in steps. This meaning go around them once at 10-12 ft-lb, again at 15-17, then a final time at 18-20 ft-lb. This is a must or you risk warping the head and/or pulling a stud out of a jug, both of which will be a real PITA to fix. Good luck.

yea and if the cylinders have been overheated too much they will be more likely to yank threads. also the studs you use you need to check that the o-rings will seal against the actual stud NOT a threaded section of it. it is more likely to leak if the o-ring is in the threaded area. also use grease on the o-rings to help hold them in place and take your time dont rush it. you will need longer studs for that head also. and i'd highly recomend using a stud installer/ remover on them.. dont tq the studs much at all when you put them in the cylinders. just a lil eee and thats it.
