Quick question. I see the engine builder tightening the head studs with a tool, correct me if I am wrong, but aren't you supposed to tightened them hand tight or until they bottom out.\?

they put a 4/5 mm hex in them for a reason? i would think you can use a wrench to snug em up.

AntiHeightPunk nice build man. excited to see more progress.

yes they are there just to snug them in... its impossible to get them all the way seated by hand.. so i put them in and just hand snug them.. not actually tighten them

Haha, don't worry about it man. I hadn't seen that pic in so long, I thought it was funny. Looks like you are going to have a new avatar pic sometime soon anyway according to the OP LOL.

was thinking this exact same thing. I sometimes use a torx but dont hammer them down. the book calls for hand tight.
