Oh wow, now I wonder if I have the right ones.

Any idea what the stud lengths are for iron heads? How much different they are from the E-head ones?

And this is why I was under the impression that it's possible even studs may not have enough threads to allow the nut to be torqued far enough to provide enough clamping force.

Not sure if that's...

I would might have agreed with the 'hammering' theory, but the T-stat doesn't slam shut or open immediately.

Even if the stat hung closed the psi I doubt would build enough to blow the core, but...

You wouldn't happen to recall the differences between the head bolts would you!? Seem to be drawing a blank on specifics. (need more coffee!)

That's what I run, same setup, with the spherical bushings on the housing ears. Also run the TS-82 braces. Absolutely the best available IMO.

I've never blown up a heater core either, but all mine are new. If you have a 50+ year old heater core in your car, you would be better off just changing it instead of restricting core coolant flow. ...

The newer combo valves you don't have to push any buttons or anything, and they are pretty reliable. And if you go from disc/drum to disc/disc, you only have to change the combo valve. (Maybe the...

Some insist on using hold off valves, but pretty sure when it comes up, I comment on removing them. I guess some want the 'original' look or don't want to deal with changing brake line routing.

I know with 455s, or long stroke engines, there's a chance of sucking the stock pan dry, and the general fix is to run an qt extra. Windage is the factor, as well as slosh & slow drainback.

I see no reason to pin studs if you have it apart, just convert to screw in. That can actually be done on the car if you're careful. I think I still have an H-O guide for drilling somewhere, but...

Yes, I'm in Virginia. The ones I see for sale are good ones, and even some of those don't have the studs in them.

New ones do have the studs but are more cost to eat just for the studs.
