Getting ready to attach the heat changers to my heads that came from HAM.
Doesn't appear that they are going fit right up easily. Does anybody have any tips or tricks for getting them to fit? Do they normally require some convincing to go on? |

#1. spray current good studs with something like pbblaster and clean ALL of the visible threads of rust. clean them coat the threads with milk of magnesia ala raby. it works. did all of the old nuts come off without turning a stud out?
