I ordered some new head studs about 2 years ago and when I started assembling the other day I broke some of the studs at 70ft lbs. Since I couldn't remember who I order them from I reorder from 2 different vendors since one had the long studs in stock and the other the regular or short studs. I have the same issue. They stretch or break. I am either doing something wrong or there a lot of other out there having the same issues. I have to assume the suppliers are all using the same manufacture and are all getting the defective parts. Does anyone know if NOS is available?
The center one is new unused. The left shows the stretch and the right shows it broke. This is the long stud
This is the short stud. Center is new unused and the right is stretched at 50ft lbs. the right has a nut welded on so I could remove
