Default Studs for Rocker Stands
I recently bought a set of Edelbrock 3/8 studs to replace std. bolts. I have a 427 with Edelbrock heads and FE Max roller rockers. Here's my question to those of you who have already converted to studs: after the studs are installed, do you have to unscrew studs to remove rocker shaft or will shaft slip straight off studs without thread damage? I plan to install studs like bolts, using double nuts to screw them in and using thread lock. Does removal of studs using thread lock damage the helicoil in aluminum heads?
Thanks for your input.
Paul
