Hi Fellows,
I am in the process of installing a new head gasket
in my Rugby D. 40. Have obtained Studs from an old engine and nuts. Is it adviseable to use the same nuts
or purchase new ones. I presume they are 7/16". Your views would be appreciated.
Cheers John.

I WOULD CLEAN THEM UP ON THE WIRE WHEEL AND CHASE THE THREADS WITH A THREAD SET AND AS LONG AS THEY HOLD THE TORQUE SETTINGS, YOU SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO....

Thanks Gary. Will do as you suggest. They seem
as though they will come up okay.
