Problem on Mugello Head nuts

[corrado]

, but I suspect trying to get the cylinder head over 7 studs now might be problematic. However, I guess if we grind out grooves into the end of the studs we can use a screwdriver to 'wind them down' .

Would you agree with the above OR is there a better way..............

I use a long spacer nut when fitting studs, I screw on the long spacer nut to the stud and then insert a bolt until it hits the stud, put the stud in place and tighten the nut with socket or spanner and it'll drive the stud home, you'll know when it's home, then simply unscrew the bolt from the long spacer nut and then remove the spacer nut from the stud ... simples.

OK great will try that when he gets the studs through....sounds perfect. cheers
