dirtybee OP super stock D Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 807 Toronto, Canada	just got mine in the mail. looks like i'll have to mill the sides down quite a bit. i'm running comp pro magnum rockers and stealth heads. about how much did you have to shave off the sides? also, the studs seem too short, if i screw them in finger tight, the nut is only about half on and that's without using the supplied washers. should i just not fully seat the studs and not use the washers? what do moparts members think? thanks.

Yes you will have to "size" them to fit your heads..no I can't say how much because yours are different than mine,etc. I believe there is two different length studs for different holes in the heads. Mine worked fine but mine are on Eddy heads,not sure on the Stealths,I'm sure someone will chime in here!
