Zip.
ZIP when you head stud one do you just finger tight or do you lock a couple nuts together and lightly snug them?
I'm not Zip .. but you want them to just be snugged up, not tight, ARP comes with the ends broached for an allen wrench.
Studs are great when on a Dragster ... but try taking a cyl. head off of the engine in most any door car. no fun at all. I'm ' returning " to bolts in my cars ....
