I'll be installing new exhaust studs soon. In the past, I've screwed the stud into the head with a torque wrench to the same torque called for on the nut.
It didn't seem right, the non-threaded part of the stud went in deeper than it looked it should, as well, it never seemed that it was going to pop the torque wrench, several times I've given up and left it partly torqued.
I really haven't seen much reference to actually screwing the stud into the head.
Are you supposed to torque the stud to the same torque as the nut?
OR
Are you supposed to screw in the stud so the non-threaded portion is flush with the flush with the head surface?
