    Put 1/2"-13 studs in the block and machine the heads for them. The 11mm-2pitch thread is .0769 and the 1/2-13 is .0787 spaced. This is a very common mod engine builders are doing to secure the heads on really HP engines.

    funny that this is supposly needed when you have ppl using stock size hardware making big power without over sized studs. Fire rings are a better mod then oversized head distorting studs

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
