Topic: Hey Big Jay,

[Sam Green Racing]

what gives ? I was helping Mike Rieck building a motor. He left to me the task of fitting the APE heavy duty cylinder studs.
#4 in the instructions said, " lock two 8mm nuts onto the studs and torque down up to 8lbs".
I went to get a couple of nuts and Mike said "here, use this instead" He gave me a stud insertion tool which made the job a whole lot easier, I really need to get one of these tools for myself, have you any idea where I can get one ?  
I think you need to change the fitting instructions for your heavy duty studs and get selling these insertion tools, they are great, beats messing around with nuts all day long.

I think I know what you are talking about...I have one i've used for car motors and for my ducati motor build. Works great for removing and installing studs...I just got it at an autoparts store though.

It's just an insertion tool Colin, saves a lot of time not messing about with your nuts

That was the revised 1978 edition of the instruction sheet. Guess we will have to do a new one

    My only criticism is that the Allen key in the end was an American size and not metric,   I suppose one of the old English keys that I threw away about a hundred years ago would have fitted   I'll be ordering one
