Made a tool for chasing head stud threads. Cost less than $1 and took five minutes to make. Got all the head studs installed. Supertech says length doesn't matter (heh, heh) and they should screw in all the way with little interference, then back out 1/4 turn using blue loctite. They did and ended up consistently 5 7/16" in length.





Also, mocked up my EBS bored (98mm) and plated cylinders and large port twin plug heads. All looks good so far! Installation will start after lunch.







Any thoughts on torquing heads first, then cam tower or finger tight heads, torque cam towers, then torque heads to spec? I've heard pros/cons on both?
