From other peoples stories, unless you want to do some work on smashing your firewall in you're not going to be able to put the head on after the studs, the way it is set up, you need to get the head close to the block, slide it back and then down. It is one thing when your engine is on a stand, but in the car you want to put the head on, washers down, then studs in, then nuts on studs.
