Hello all,
After buying Moss's head studs for my 1500, and torqueing them to 25 ft-lbs (in the correct sequence) followed by a final torque to 45 ft-lbs, two of the studs (which were brand new, and cost 4.55 each ...) got stripped threads before 35 ft-lbs was achieved. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem? I'm quite disatisfied with these results. This leaves me to believe that they're inadequate for the additional stress of the engine actually running.
