I’m replacing the studs and top end in our 2002 LT80 and just have a quick question on the install.. what is the procedure on installing the studs? Do you thread them in until they bottom out? Do I use a thread locker? And if I’m threading them til they bottom out, how much torque? again, I’m talking about the stud installation not the head nuts.. thank you

 

If you are replacing them with the china studs, stop now. They stretch.
You can loc-tite them in. Won't hurt.
I double nut them and tighten them tight. No real torque spec.
115 inch pounds on the head nuts.
