Exactly to what do we refer here? The main 'hanging' stud; center of block perhaps?

Mine came out once, with the nut on the tip.

I got it set, when I got the D side headers locked in, but do I need to check for some sealing???

Here are a couple more after the bake cycle outside the booth. The 55 is a friend of mine's that has a LS1 in it.

Once everything is back together I will put it up on a lift and try to figure out the oil leak.

See this post for info on the header stud leak and how to get the stud off using double nuts.

I work for a wholesale auto auction company which has 65 US locations. We have a full line reconditioning shop with a 10 bay mechanic shop, a detail shop that does about 175 cars a day and the body shop which with more staffing can do up to 75-80 cars a day. Most repairs are 2-3 panels per unit.

Your car was done with the production product you use in day to day OR? I would assume your day to day production is all water-borne if so whose?

We have used BASF waterborne in the shop since 2008. At the time our location was the first to go with BASF from DuPont products. Now our company uses them exclusive in the 45 sites that have a body shop. Out location is used by BASF as a Beta site to test new products all the time along with 3M which also uses us to test different tapes and adhesives and checking our Ford and Chrysler factory inventory for how well their emblems hold up.

Haven't seen that one before. I would be weary of taking it off.

We usually test things like different tapes, sandpaper, foam for the door jams and a cling wrap for inside paint booths to keep the walls clean. They like that they can have as many as 100 bake cycles a week in a production setting. We have also done large repaint projects for Chysler in the past 5 years when they have had paint issues at different factories. The last one involved complete repainting of 2000 Jeep's that had a clear coat issue.
