grumpyvette Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 they can USUALLY be pressed back in, but pinning the studs, with a roll pin at an angle, is a good idea if your not going to be converting to screw in studs kits come with instructions http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10002_749537_-1_10693 keep in mind the reason most studs pull out is the result of a higher lift cam exerting more pressure on the springs so the eventually lever themselves loose, check your clearances VERY CAREFULLY studs working loose are a comon indicator of clearance issues, due to bad geometry or high lift rockers or spring bind issues ETC.

Guest wayne0 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Cheers for that. cam is only very mild, standard springs, want to save money for alloy heads at some stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
