Need quick answere on ARP stud install

[DE Jeeper]

I am in the process of installing the studs and I noticed that 6 studs are about . 25" longer then the rest. I have searched the past forums and I can't find any info on which holes these go into. I am doing them one at a time and bottom tapping. I have done the front 6 so far and all of the bolts are the same length. Are there longer bolts toward the rear? Do I just use the longer ones on the outside of the rocker box?



Looking for a quick answere.

Thanks,

Aaron

the longer studs go over near the exhaust manifold count them 6 outside the valve cover

Thanks, that is what I was thinking, but I had never seen this issue and it is not addressed in the instructions.

Don't forget about the rear stud, either bottom tapping or grinding is required.

he said he was bottom tapping I think arp changed something with there studs I was told if you bottom tap you will not need to grind the injector riser box I bottomed tapped and still had to grind a little off the back of the riser box

The instructions I got with some studs said to put the long ones under the riser, just didn't mention possible clearance problems. Had to go back and grind clearance on riser.

I put themon the studs outside of the rocker box. Not sure why they have 2 different lengths. Maybe it is a universal 5. 9 kit and the 3rd gens don't need them???? All the bolts were the same length and the studs all have 2-3 threads above the nut under the valve cover and the longer ones leave 5-7 threads. I have yet to check for clearences on the rocker box because I am still waiting on the injectors. They should be here today.
