Might be too late to ask, but did you measure the washers that came with your studs? ARP has a history of utilizing undersized washers with their stud kits for the 2JZ up until 2-3 months ago. Most guys use the factory Toyota washers due to this. They did recently correct it. If you use the smaller ones they will eventually seat into the cylinder head and you lose clamping force. The toyota ones are the correct size that fit the machining for the cyl head. If you have the smaller ones I would suggest swapping them out so you don't have issues down the road.

Picked up more parts from my powdercoater. Most of them were done in a 2 stage pearl black finish, some received a single stage semi-gloss gloss black finish, and others were done in a gloss clear silver. Intake plenum and diff cover were done in gloss clear powder coat.
Had an issue with getting the rear subframe media blasted. It was too big for my powder coater's blasting unit so we waited on another local industrial powdercoating shop to take car of it. Long story short, their guy was injured and couldn't do it at this time. As of right now I have it dropped off with a large scale local media blasting/stripping service called "Redi Strip" in Roselle IL. Should be ready in a few weeks. It's getting both chemically stripped and media blasted.
