Does anyone have a good technique for putting on head bolt washers with head studs (the washers you use when you are running a head that has a large head bolt (351) dia on a 302 block)

It is always just so much a pain in the A$$ it gets them all in. You can get some in a then the others will not go and it’s this horrible cycle.

I have stuggled with this for too long in my life and I know some has developed a methoud that is painless

I tap them in the head first, then put the head on the block...

it always seems a few of the studs push a few of them out, and then those are the ones that are a PITA to get in
