Head Studs & Nuts.

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.

Re: Head Studs & Nuts.

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....

Re: Head Studs & Nuts.

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