On my head bolts , I've never used anything just put them on and torqued them down and then re-torqued after getting hot. Is there anything different I should do with the studs? What about putting never seize on the studs, would that be advisable or not? I want to get this thing done ASAP , to get it out of my hair. I've got other work I want to get done on my loader tractor , i.e. put in new axle pin , radius rods , spindle bearings and before putting the loader back on, check growling transmission bearing.

I did use anti-seize on the head bolts since I had it laying around. Did not want to drive the 30 minutes to town; its thick, sealed em up, and will be easy to remove next time.   [Reply]  [No Email]

And now since your head has 4 'corners', the future search will reveal 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7!!!! Just like the Internet...find any answer you are looking for. :wink:   [Reply]  [No Email]

Such question is why I keep a pile of manuals on my desk   [Reply]  [No Email]

Lot less torque for the nuts because they are fine threads. I don't know the torques or the difference but I do know they are different and it is very important not to overtorque the nuts especially. Maybe somebody will chime in and give the torque specfications. Zane   [Reply]  [No Email]

While head bolt torque is 60-75. All my head bolts went into water jacket, used anti-sieze in good proportion. No leaks whatsoever...yet.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I like to use neverseize to help out the next guy.. who may be me :) head gasket on an N only takes minutes.. so shouldn't be a time issue.. :)   [Reply]  [No Email]
