Wd45 diesel cylinder head hardware

jr1983 · Mar 6, 2019

I'm installing the head on a 45 diesel.i cleaned the studs and installed them in the block. Now there aren't enough threads sticking out to install the nuts. Is this thing supposed to have studs? I was just reusing what it had. What could I have going on here?

If I recall the head I had off my cousin's diesel had different length studs, maybe some need switched around? Or they are threaded in deeper than they need to be in the block.

There's two lengths here. The long ones are where they are supposed to be.
