Load test on the rocker stud threads: 60 ft-lbs (without oil, sealer or antisizing)- ok and ready for go (production is 50 ft-lbs). Nut: deep-well wrench 11/16".
Rocker studs are 3/8 fine thread x 7/16" course thread, length overall 2.475".
Earlier pressure test done and investigation: no guide plates needed (as in the original engine in my car).
