Hello Again,

If when I come to rebuild the top end I'll be fitting ARP bits.

Now, the manual Adam kindly supplied me with quotes Head Bolts but all
I seem to find with ARP is Head Studs.?

Is this right.? :wierd2:

Cheers

I've just been on the phone to Mr T and I'm getting some good prices on gasket sets, turbo water pipes, turbo oil pipes etc etc.

Thinking I'm going to rebuild this block and have your turbo :thumbsup:

It was a stud set that I got for mine last year. I was a bit confused looking around the various sites to order, but it was described as a stud set.

Is there an advantage with studs over head bolts?

Have you got to get them fully threaded into the block?

Scratch this :blush:

Just found some details on the ARP studs and they have an allen key in one end to wind into the block and then bolt it up :thumbsup:
