I got a h23block with h22 head and I started to install my arp studs. But when I have the gasket and head on the block, I hand start the stud til it stops and it doesnt leave me enough meat on the stud to slap on the washer and bolt.. what am I doing wrong?

It sounds like you have the wrong studs. Do you have one that's longer than the others?My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency! -
Yes I do have one stud that is longer than the others. And the labeling on the arp box indicates h23aComment

He does. The stud are head studs, not block studs. OP, if you bought them new from a retail site or location, try to exchange them for H22A studs. If not, you'll need to find some H22A head studs and try to sell these.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!Comment

Would have figured.. the associate over at arp say that the one longer stud is same lenghth as the h22 studs. But does me no purpose cuz I have 23 studs..Comment

Getting my new set of arp studs today and just out of curiosity, do I first tq the studs then slap down the washer and bolt with the arp lube and tq the bolts?Comment

you install them into the block "hand tight", I used a hand ratchet and allen head socket. I also put a little film of the arp lube on the threads, after I used an old head bolt with a slot cut in it to chase the threads and clean them. brake cleaner and a blast of air. I also cleaned each stud with lacquer thinner to clean the cosmoline off them.
once theyre in there, i placed the head gasket on and made sure it was all the way down and flush with the block. Then I put the head on with the complete intake already attached. Then you put arp lube on the threads,both sides of the washers and drop them on, then the bottom of the nut. A 12 point 14mm socket is used, and torqued them to *ARP's* specs in 3 successions 30-60-90 in the honda torquing order.Last edited by illinois_erik; 03-24-2015, 12:02 PM.
