1g ARP stud ????

[psx]

Im puting the studs in and all is going well untill, one stud doesnt tighten? The lower left bolt
closest to upper radiator hose. The head is off and as I hand tighten
the bolts, oil squeezes out of threads. But that one stud doesnt tighten jus
spins freely?? Should i red loc tight it?

You can't install a stud into a hole full of fluid. It has nowhere to go and prevents the stud from tightening up. Pull the stud back out and blow any fluids and debris out of the hole with an air compressor.

Try to clean out the threads in the block to see whats going on. sometimes people use helicoils and either do it wrong or they fail and just spin.
