No, the GATOR HSK5912 Fasteners Performance Head Stud Kit requires modification of the rocker arm pedestal to accommodate a shorter rocker arm pedestal head stud included in the kit. This modification is necessary to bring the head stud nut and washer combination down to the same installed height as the factory head bolt. The manual recommends milling a step in all six pedestals to the specified amount, making sure the step is parallel with the bottom of each rocker arm pedestal. It also mentions that if the location of the rocker arm pedestal head studs is above the specified installed height, it may be necessary to tap the threads deeper in the block and/or modify the thread counterbore to get the top of the studs down to the specified height. Proper installation of the rocker arm pedestal head studs is crucial for the correct functioning of the kit.
