Anyone or experience with these?
I've bin told that you should use latex gloves when installing, and put them in a sealed bag with a light coat of oil when not in a running engine - But how is the reality. I'm building a engine (long term built) and I was going to install them before honing to use a torqueplate, can I do that? And what about having them sitting in a assembled engine which is NOT running for possible long time.

Thanks.

 

Dont see why you would need latex gloves, they are head studs, not hypodermic needles

And there is no issue with leaving them in an assembled motor

 

The oils on your fingers can mess with the metals in the head studs, which is why you're supposed to wear gloves.

 

You really think the tiny bit of oil on your hands will be enough to weaken the metal? I find that very very hard to believe

 

As odd as it may sound, black_out is 100% correct.
