Install ARP studs without head removal?
I am wondering who has had good luck with installing arp studs without removing
head and replacing headgasket? i know once the gasket is compressed it should not be uncompressed without replacing it. so are you guys replacing i stud at a time, torqing it and then moving to the next so the gasket does not become
decompressed? i don't want to get it there and attempt this and then a week leater have the headgasket take a dump because this didn't work.
putting cams in this weekend and want to knock this out at the same time.
any help appreciated.

The statement posted above is as clear as it is going to get. As a personal recommendation I would do the job right the first time. Short cuts work sometimes and sometimes they just dont. Personally it didn't work for me so I pulled the head off and did it right.

Its like a 50-50 chance that it will work, and that it wont...... If you can, I'd pull the head, and do it the right way...... Cause if it doesn't work, your gonna have to pull it anyway.......
