Valve Cover Studs

[Bruce Doran Veevers]

I am about to install new valve cover studs . There two different lengths of threads . Which end screws into the head long threads or short ones Sent from my iPhone

[CHARLES HUGHES]

Hi Bruce - I've always been told the short ones in the head. The long threads are to help compensate for flexing of the stamped valve cover, variations in the height of various replacement valve covers and compression of the valve cover gasket over time. - Mike Hughes  - -  '37 TA 0512 On Friday, August 17, 2018 3:20 PM, "Bruce Doran Veevers bruce@mbssales.ca [mg-tabc]" mg-tabc-noreply@yahoogroups.com> wrote:   I am about to install new valve cover studs .
