Should iron heads have washers?
1935 rebuilt engine with 1936 iron cylinder heads came home from the rebuilders with washers on the studs . Isn't it only aluminum heads that should be held down with washers? If no washers is correct can they just be removed one at a time?

Re: Should iron heads have washers?
It may depend on what you are doing or want to accomplish. The iron heads don't really need the washers but if the tops of the studs are close to being flush with the tops of the nuts, with the washers in place, then I would consider just leaving them there. They will not hurt anything being there. If you are building a show vehicle, then that may determine what you will need to do. JMO, JM

Another problem with removing them is if you have a problem with the engine the rebuilder will have an out becase you took the engine apart to remove them (even if it was one nut at a time and could no way be related to the problem).
