Has anyone ever ran into this problem on their GE vvti heads when trying to install ARP head studs?! I’ve search and searched and searched and found nothing and am extremely frustrated.
the 13mm 12 point deep thin wall socket does NOT fit inside the groove of where the head studs bolt down. I can start 3 of the nuts on the head studs but that’s it. I will post a photo for reference.
am I supposed to hone out where it doesn’t fit? I thought these were supposed to be drop in, install and go.
please let me know if someone has ran into this problem and what they did to solve it. I really DO NOT WANT TO drill out the spots that won’t accept the socket but don’t think theres anything else I can do??
Grrrrrrrrr…
