New or reused head studs and nuts?
« on: June 22, 2016, 03:35:36 PM »
Should I reuse my old head studs or order some new ones?

Also on one of them the whole stud came out and not just the nut during disassembly.. if I do reuse am I fine to just put the whole stud in and torque to spec or should I remove the nut (its on there pretty good) and torque the stud in and then the nut?

Reuse them, as long as they're in good nick.

Cool.. as for retorqueing the one stud that came out then I should probably get the nut off.. torque stud to 8 lb and then during reassembly torque the nut down?

Why take the chance?  Just buy new ones and be don't worry about them.  Buy APE studs if you REALLY want to be sure they're secure!
