So I'm good then? Shank touches deck before bottom of stud. I think I worded a little weird.

I feel like my little LCA refresh project just got a bit one-upped there. LolQuote:

I'll be doing the same thing this winter when I get around to it. I'm gonna give powder coating a try.

1) Using old ARP Moly Lube --- 105 lb-ft
2) Using 30w engine oil --- 125 lb-ft
3) Using International Compound # 2 (supplied) --- 105 lb-ft
Installation Instructions:
1) Make sure the stud/block/nut threads are clean
2) Install the studs in the block using motor oil on the block thread (hand tight 5-10 lb-ft) via hex
3) Lubricate top stud thread/nut thread and washer surface/washer flats with preferred Lubricant (suggest International Compound #2)
4) Torque studs to 60-70 lb-ft in the OEM torque sequence 3, yes 3, times. This helps break in the thread surfaces.
5) Final Torque: Using old ARP Moly or International Compound #2
1. Loosen the nuts completely
2. Re-lubricate the top of the studs, washer and nut (recommend International compound #2)
3. Torque in three steps:
a. Torque Studs to 40 lb-ft in the OEM Torque Sequence
b. Torque Studs to 70 lb-ft in the OEM Torque Sequence
c. Finally Torque Studs to 105 lb-ft in the OEM Torque Sequence
**NOTE: If you use motor oil use 55, 85, 125 in the three steps.
Just ordered this stuff

Also lapped the valves and installed my ferrea stuff into one of my heads. Then cleaned the deck of the block a bit and wd40d every thing. Just waiting on parts now.

Finished evo brembo conversion. Going to have her towed to a shop for alignment tomorrow, then she is back on the road for the first time in a few months. New poly LCA bushings, tie rod ends, ball joints, rotors, calipers, ebc red stuff pads and evo x bbs 18x8.5s wrapped in Bridgestone sport comp 2s. Going to feel like a new car. [emoji108]

Why would you tow it to the shop to get an alignment? You can get it close by eyeballing and a few measurements and drive it to the shop without issue.
or break out 4 jack stands and some string and do it yourself.
Free roadside assistance! I may try and roll it around the block to feel. But I'm really concerned that toe in will eat my brand new tires.Quote:

It takes a few thousand miles to kill tires if the toe is bad. Youre good just driving to the shop...
3/S related though, I used my slicks/wheels as weight in my Ranger because it snowed the other day. Who said slicks in the snow are worthless?
