What is the torque/process to install carb studs in an aluminum intake? These don't bottom out. They are 5/16-18 on one end and 5/16-24 on the other with a dead band in between. I was going to just snug them down with some blue loctite. Seems really cranking them in will swage the start of the thread on the band, but maybe that is what we want? Edelbrock's tech line was busy and the one video I found online looks like he really reefs on it. Don't want to screw up the intake. In the past when I installed studs it was basically finger tight.
