First mini turbo to get in the 12's & site perv

Herefordshire

sorry im not a stud, so i cant usually help

but in this case i can, the old real 11 stud blocks used a smalled stud, where as arp use 3/8s for all theyre studs

annoyingly youve got the wrong stud size machined in the block, either find a smaller stud, or would theyre be enough meat to get the block re drilled and tapped, or get the stud machined

As nic says really, but if you dont fancy drilling out the existing at this time seing as its in the car, ,check the thread in the block, [should be 5/16 UNC], and use two capscrews of the correct length and thread type.
drilling out in situ is no problem though, just tape over everything on the block face to stop the fillings getting everywhere and be carefull,

wolfie you might want to check the link is either 5/16, or 3/8 ,if the pic is not distorted it mliiks like the thinner of the two, which i suspect you already have tapped into the block,

Yes home at 2pm all this week,The drills and taps I have are to put normal size studs in.which ain't that hard just tape all the holes up(done it myself couple of weeks ago)

If you don't wanna drill it or can't get the stud linked above I think a diff housing one fits.

Dont for get to put some threadlock/sealer on the end of the stud as you get water seeping up from the water pump else
