I spent the next hour installing ARP studs for the valve cover and oilpan.
It makes putting the gasket on a little easier and it looks nice, but it is primarily gratuitous and as it happens, a LOT of work. Russ had no problem with me doing it but refused to take part.
Set the gasket down
We RTV'd under and over both ends where they can sometimes leak and pressed it down onto the studs.
And then installed the oil pan.
Basically the same operation for the valve cover but with less photos.
