I fitted my studs, poly-locs and stud girdles up tonight, didn't fit as I had hoped, center two intake studs show readings as high as .025 on both heads. It turns out the stud locations are off this much, straight edge shows exhaust studs to be real straight. Question is, what is acceptable for side deviation on these studs? I know this will make adjusting the valves a little more challenging, but will this also leed to broken studs?
Hardware used:
Probe stud girdles
Manley studs (girdle type)
Jomar poly-locs
Chevy guide plates (same reading with or without these installed)
