Reply to "Temporary Studs for Cylinder Head Installation"

Thanks Mike.

The head bolts and washers look like new and there is no gouging or distortion on the head bolts or the cylinder head itself. Prior to cylinder head installation I clean out the threads in the block to remove old lubricant and crud. Next I dip the top of the head bolt and its washer into a cup of engine oil as its lubricant as well as the threads and then remove the excess oil on the threads in an effort to not contaminant the head gasket. Even after doing all the above there is just a bit of a creak on some of the bolts when final toque is applied. It is not a substantial feel or sound but it certainly happens on some of the bolts.
