OK. So I finally got all of the gaskets and everything I need to put my car together and I clean everything up really well and go to put it back together. I put the ARP head studs in the block lubing them with the oil provided as the directions say, then I go to slide the head on and it sticks about 1\4 of the way down. OK. I'll just take it off and put it on before I put the studs in. No big deal. Wrong! It wont budge! I cant get it off or on. I got inside the engine bey and Yanked as hard as I could. I used a piece of wood and pried on it. Still no budge. WTF? Any suggestions? Everything has gone smooth untill now. HA! Do you think that maybe the head studs are for a 7-bolt instead of a 6-bolt?

Thanks Guys! Ive got the stock studs back in (but not tightened.) I think im going to take the head off again and try again. I was a little lenient when using the ARP moly lube so this time I'm gonna get them nice and greasy and try again. I am doing a big turbo upgrade and plan on running 20PSI sometimes so I think they will be a must. Thanks again for all of the quick feedback!
