Message: [QUOTE="windrunner408, post: 217788, member: 1868"] While I havent done the one stud at a time method, I have heard of folks that have done it with great success so if you want to try it out then go for it IMO. The thing to remember here is that you are doing something not really accounted for in the intent of the manufacturer of the studs when you do it one bolt at a time. The intent is for a full headgasket replacement, thus why the sequence and tightening increments are inplace. It makes sense to me that the torque value is much higher in importance than the torque sequence. In fact, I dont believe the torque sequence matters at all since the theory is that you are pulling only one stud and other 9 are doing the holding so I dont see how that matters unless you are not torquing down the new ones to full value when you replaced it. I guess the long and short of it IMO is if you are going to do it, when you pull the bolt and replace it with the stud, torque the stud all the way to the recommended value. [/QUOTE]
