INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Addendum

How to choose the correct stud length.
This instruction sheet addendum will help you determine the correct stud length to use. This procedure will take place during
steps #8 and #9 of the original installation instructions.
Some of our competitors accommodated a bolt through design to ease the installation process, we feel this to be of a poor
design. Because S&B Filters believes this type of product installation is a one time deal. Our superior design warrants the
additional installation time, as it will yield better performance. S&B Filters gained maximum flow numbers with an aggressive
design that left a small window of clearance for a fixed stud height. This step will add an additional 5 to 10 minutes to the
installation. This kit includes 2 long studs (95mm) and 2 short studs (85mm). To determine the correct length studs for your
application you will need to thread each, a long and short stud (short threaded end first) into the manifold bolt holes farthest
from the valve cover. Measure the height of the stud from the heater grid block upward. Use the stud set that comes closest
to 1-1/8” (1.125”) in height. Remove the studs, place a small amount of the supplied Thread Locker to the correct Studs and
thread the studs by hand into the two bolt holes farthest from the valve cover. Then use the double nut method to secure
and torque the studs to approximately 40 inch lbs. NOT foot lbs.
During this process care should be taken to prevent any parts or debris from falling into the intake manifold by sealing the
opening with duct tape or covering it with a shop towel. If you do get debris inside the manifold you can use a shop-vac or
household vacuum with a small tip attachment to clean out any debris. If you drop a stud or jamb nut into the manifold try
fishing it out with a mechanics magnetic pick-up tool or something similar.
