head studs

[onebadiditurbo]

Hey I gotta a question. I am needing to install head studs on a pull truck i have its an idi 7.3l. But i dont wanna pull the heads to do it can I just do one at a time with the head on or would that be enough to unseat the head gasket.

It's already been done, you might ask the guy how his project worked out. One at a time shouldn't be a problem.

The idea makes my squimish. I couldn't bring myself to do it personally, but like posted above. It has been done once. Long term results.........pending. Short term.......it seems to be holding fine.
