Very long video but it should help you get the job done. Definitely something you should only do if you’re comfortable with doing this sort of mod. Also, I can’t guarantee everyone will get this right. This is NOT the correct way to install studs but it does work and shouldn’t hurt if your head gasket hasn’t already failed and isn’t disturbed during the stud install. The correct method would be to fully remove the head, have it machined, and replace the gasket. But so far so good on mine, I’m not the first to do this btw. The reason to do this is to avoid a common problem with these engines, head lift.
