Re: Reassembling/reinstalling engine: preferred order

> Do the head studs need to be torqued into the block?

If you still have a 948 in your Mk II, you should pay particular attention 
to the five head studs that penetrate into the cooling passages on one side 
of the engine.  If you don't seal the threads, cooling water can leak out 
through the threads.  I've tried a couple of different thread sealants such 
as ARP or Permatex thread sealant, but I've found what works for me is 
hardening Permatex Form-a-gasket sealant (I think it's Permatex #2).
