Some one ask so I tried to explain in a PM. Rocker oiling
Torqued to the same spec as required per ARP. There is no instructions for stretch specification for these studs , As stated there is less material at the base of the threads then what is left after being cut out of the shaft. This was all done to our original studs at a performance engine shop around 2007. We never had and issue and my son has been using this method on every studded LA small block in his shop. There are many other methods but the cost is a lot more, for example here is one I have seen to correct oiling. Great system but didn't want to go that route. Just something else to leak externally
