on mine you pull out the old stud and mill the top of the stud boss to a certain height. it also depends if you are running guide plates. you then drill the holes on a drill press holding the head at the correct angle, tap the holes, and install the studs with thread sealant (there is coolant behind stud) and your done.
Thanks for the info, was kinda hoping to do it on the engine. If that is the case, then I might as well change out to my extra heads
