Are ARP head stud kits a worthwhile investment ?? in the minispares catalogue they say the standard ones are rubbish Crystal Sound Audio said:

Wolfie, nothing wrong at all with the standard items, make sure they are the later ones marked with the "Y" on the top. Use second hand ones if you wish, try to use ones from a bog standard car..ie 998cc metro or something.They are bloody good.

See your point Will but if you can find an un rebuilt car the chances are very high they have'nt been abused.

I prefer ARP and have zero gasket casualties. WHICHEVER you use, clean the threads in the block and apply a generous countersink to the stud holes. This prevents the gasket not seating properly in case the threads are pulled up when torquing. It is practically a free trick. |

I have stropped threads on the MS standard studs at less than the 68Nm torque, they are shit. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

I've got the Draper set and, athough called stud extractors, they work both ways (they say left and right hand threads in their description but the principal is the same, they grip in either direction).
Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |
