Subject:      Waterboxer Head Studs
Content-Type: text/plain


I'm attempting to replace the head studs on my 1.9L rebuild with the
Raceware studs, but they sure are difficult to screw into the block. I
double-nutted the top threads to drive the stud in, but it gets maybe 2
turns then refuses to turn any further. Are they supposed to be this
difficult to install, or am I maybe doing something wrong? I remember the
old ones being hard to remove, but I would not think new ones would be
this difficult. Naturally I threw the old studs away long ago before
sending the block out for cleaning, so I have nothing to compare the new
studs to.
