No offense taken supramacist. I'm GLAD you apologized about coming off like a prick, as my respect for you has grown a little bit for that.
As far as me doing my homework, i do. I use these forms as a last resort to my problems. I can see you coming off as a prick if i asked every single and stupid question here about my car. But I DON'T.
With all that being said, I ended up figuring out my stud problem. The head is sitting on the block torqued down to 85ft/lbs with a new Fel-pro head gasket in between.
Now I have to put everything back together
