If you watch the Harbor Freight Tools sales you can get torque wrenches for $10 to $15. Not on sale right now so they are regular about $21. I have found their quality to be acceptable+.

I was afraid of the studs freezing in the head with red loctite. I will retorque them later and keep an eye on them (dang, now i can't return my $40 Sears torque wrench). Your expert help is greatly appreciated, although riding my bicycle has not been bad for my damp spleen and protruding lower abdomen. But now I just wanta' ride my motorcycle. Thanks for the Pro techniques on a budget (6 each 7mm 1mm pitch zinc nuts, Autozone $2.36 + tax.)

Once it is installed just loosen and remove the nuts, install your pipes and put the nuts on the collars. Use some red locktite on the studs to keep them from backing out of the head. Don't torque the studs too much or you can damage the aluminum head.
