I've checked the archives and there's lots of talk about the subject but I am curious if we know what grade the head and manifold studs are on the engines we work with (my 1800 MG and 1988 Triumph in my case). I am wondering if it makes a difference if torquing a grade 8 nut onto a grade 5 or lesser stud. I presume it's best if they match, but I suspect we're not putting enough torque onto these studs that it really matters, does anyone know the grade of stock studs in these cases?
