One problem I have run into with the studs is they seem to hit a little ridge in the top of the valve covers and hold the up on the valve covers a little. I just noticed this yesterday as all of the covers are seeping oil and have new gaskets on them. I pulled one and saw were the stud was hitting the ridge. A little porting tool work will take care of it. Anyone else had this problem?

Just kidding, but IMO, I would try to tap the bolt holes to the bottom and that should fix it up. I have a few 97 blocks here on engine stands and they both got the bottoming tap treatment.Don~
