Has anybody ever had any problems with ARP Head Studs with Cast Iron Heads? I have heard of some people having to put washers on two of the bolts under the valve covers to get the proper torque on the heads. It is the two that are recessed a little toward the outside of the heads. The car keeps blowing the head gaskets and exhaust gases are getting in the coolant water. This was determined after a shop put some kind of colored solution in the radiator and it changed colors. It is like the studs are not going into the block far enough but the holes are clean. When the nuts are installed with the heads on, it has much more thread showing on the top of the nuts. Has anyone ever had this problem?
