Head stud RCM1635
Got a 2.5 wrx to replace the head gaskets and have some RCM1635 head studs.
Anyone got an idiots guide in fitting including torque specs?

Yeah, got the torque sheet online.
Am I correct in guessing the flat end into the block hand tight, then fit the nuts to the torque settings?

no the end with the machined "nipple" is the block side, flat end is for the nut up top........
wind them till they just touch the base of the block and then back off 1/2 turn
