No, I guess I didn't know you were.

It just occurred to me that this could be an issue unique to me since i'm using a 2g head with the holes drilled out to fit 1g arp studs. I'm sure the 2g arp stuff would fit, but its too late for that now! :(

C'mon people, if you're going to post in a tech thread, make sure you read all of the previous posts. Sorry to be an ass, but this will help prevent misinformation.

Double nut two of them on a bolt and spin it down on a grinder until the base is even with the nut flats. I had to do it. It works fine.

I had to have a friend at work lift my head up, while I slipped the nut over the stud on my car, when I re-did the HG, but then again, I only have a 1g head.

I've had to grind down the little flare on the base of the arp nut when doing studs in exactly your scenerio. As well as all the other tips such as: holding the head and and helping the washers by at the same time.

I also have issue with mine and crower springs. I think the springs are the problem. Put the socket on them and give them a tap, they will pop over the spring coils.

If the washer fits I do not see how the nut could not thread down, but if you need to shave the nut I would clean up the edge on the bottom so there is no added friction between the nut and washer.

You can place the washer in to the head before you put the head on so its sitting there, it'll usually stick b/c of the moly lube. But the nut is not as easy since you have to put it on after the head is on the car and the studs are through the holes.
Does any company offer a tapered progressive valve spring? i believe that would cure this particular problem for anyone who wants to do this same setup in the future.
