The fine thread stud nuts have a lot more clamping force than the coarse threads in the block. It would be pretty simple (but very time consuming) to set up a stretch gauge on each head stud and get exactly the same clamping force on every stud. Similar to measuring rod bolt stretch on H beam connecting rods.
