ARP Stud Issue

getblown, you said these studs pass through a water jacket. is your block tapped for 14mm studs??

basically i have seen some ppl say they DO pass through a water jacket and some say they DO NOT pass through a water jacket.
 
when first starting my truck after it has sat for a while i can see little bubbles pulsate out from under the stud for about 30 sec. I always attributed it to condensation forcing its way out as temp rises. I think it may be a slightly different scenario then you but may help you diagnose.

Nope 12mm studs. My arp directions said to use sealer on those 6 studs tho. I can not confirm whether they go into the water jacket or not.
