step 1 you tork 1-16

step 2 you do 90 deg which is 1/4 turn i have seen many people who think 90 deg is 1/2 turn but its not... so 12 oclock to 3 oclock...do all 16...

step 3 you do another quarter turn on all 16...


now, what i would do if i were you is I would keep all the studs tight.. but i would stop and take out the stripped one... i believe this is unusal because they should break and not strip... the question is .... is the bolt stripping or the hole....? I would take out the bad stud and replace it with the old stud.

all your old studs are still usable if they measure the correct length... in fact the book says to use the old ones.. and the head gasket co says to draw the gasket on the card board and stick the old studs into the same spots they come out of....

the old studs are the best quality... so use them... and if its still stripped then run your tap into it....and see what happens...

if that dont work you will have to have it heli coiled or tapped to the next size.
