Re: Installing New Head Gasket
They don't have to bottom out. In fact some builders suggest that they are actually backed off a half turn. It is the nut that you are tightening to specs.
Remember that one stud, the one that holds the distributor clamp to the head is a bit longer than the other short ones. I missed this once and put the longer short one in the wrong hole. Wasn't using the cable clamp anyway, but it was one of those oops that I noticed every time I opened the hood... Chap
