Questions about ARP Head Studs
I just received my parts from DM and the ARP head studs dont look anything like the factory studs. Are these right or do I have the wrong studs? First time doing a build like this and I wanted to make sure everythings right before I put it together.
How would I go abouts torqueing these down? The head on the ARP studs are HEX and if I overtorque them down I may strip the HEX head.

yep. studs. with studs, you put the stud in the block, then thread/torque the nut that comes with 'em.
when installing the studs, don't bottom them out in the hole. if you hit bottom, turn it back a thread or two (iirc, that's all you need). they will be "loose," which is what you want. you won't be torquing the stud down, you will torque the nut down, on the stud.
