[QUOTE="whenfoxforks-ruled, post: 1407606, member: 73147"] By all means replace the studs and nuts. They fatigue and do not take torque properly. I do see you are getting way over board with the sand paper, 400~600 is fine enough. Too fine of grit seals worse. Get a can of gold permatex high temp gasket spray. Hang the head gasket and coat both sides, dry and install. The spray is an absolute last ditch effort, and I have sprayed the head and top of cylinder. Keeping it out of the rings and combustion chamber is important! The dowel pins are installed? When installing the head to frame stays, if there is a gap, install washers. Torque applied to close the gap will cause a head leak. I do not remember if that bike has one, but? Vintage Bob [/QUOTE]
