Frank,



Keep up those smart remarks and you may have all your "threads" stripped from here!!!!

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!

This has become a rather COARSE conversation. Thankfully it's in Canadian so I can't understand it!

The valve cover studs from a 317/302/332 LYB engine are longer than those in a stock valve covered Y engine and also the right length for the Thunderbird aluminum valve covers.  These studs will retain the correct coarse thread for the heads and the fine threads for the valve cover nut and rocker stand hold retention.

I used a piece of all thread cut to the proper length when I installed my Moon valve covers. Available in 3' lengths from Home Depot and others I'm sure. We're not talking a high torque item here.
