ordering main studs

[TurboDave]

Kendall, or whom ever would like to help.

I'm getting ready to order a set of main studs for this block.

The studs that are in the other block are already mounted, and I couldn't turn one out to save my life. It appears they were "glued" in with some type of substance that appears black and hard (not soft like silicone)
Anybody know what that stuff might be???

And also, in looking at Summit's web site there appears to be several choices of part numbers.
One says Stage II 4 bolt mains (without scraper)
The other one, I think says 3.8 stage I/II splayed bolts, or something like that.

I thought about Jegs (for about 2 seconds) until I saw the prices they're asking

studs

Refering to the studs that you can/t get out. They are probably put in with Loctite. Double nut them and use a propane torch to heat the block. When it gets hot enough they will turn out.

Well, I really don't "need" to get them out. I thought I might rob them for the other block, but decided to just order another set, so both blocks will at least have the main studs intact.
