48 Lin Cont. V12 Studs

[Cokekid]

I understand there are 22 Studs for each side on this engine, 13 long and 9 short. Can someone tell me which numbers are long or which ones are short.

If you look  at your heads, it will be obvious. The longer studs go in the holes where the heads are the thickest.  Get a thread chaser  to clean out the threads in the block so that all of the studs will turn into the block with all of the threads in the block. Do NOT use a tap as      it  will cut the threads and you will have coolant leaks around the studs. Use a non hardening sealer like PERMATEX #2  on the studs   to seal the threads in the block.

Now that you explained were the long studs go. It now makes sense to me.

 

Thanks
