Xise is an unknown quantity at this point
yeah i am not going to do it today i just gave them an initial blast of wd to lossen them up a bit, smacked em with a ratchet to loose the a bit. Ill grab some pb blastere once I have thebrand new studs.

I def DO NOT want to break any bolts off in the head, thats why I was wondering on the torque specs and the exact size of the studs. Does anyone know the exact size of the sohc header studs??

I was going to coat the header in ceramic but it is so nice and shiny I kind of don't want to now, any really notice any benefit to coating header??
