Default Re: Still leaking?!!!!!!

If theyre the ones who told you it was ok to take a 7/16 stud to 95, I would stay away from them. 1/2 inch goes to 95, and 3/8 go to 45.

It might not be as bad as you think. The studs usually dont get super tight in the block. It might surprise you how easily it comes out. But next time, please take them to 50 on the first step, then 70. Oil the threads, and the mating surfaces of the washers and nuts.

They said 90, not 95. I would still not go 50 on the first round, I went 30, 60, 90. I did oil the washers and nuts.
