Well last weekend I was going to install my head and 3mm HG but when I went to install "a" headstud it was the wrong pitch. 1 out of the 10 was the wrong one!!!! Dam! The person who was putting the studs in the box must have done it on a friday or monday becuz his head was up his but. So now Im trying to find somewhere local. I'd like to get my head on this weekend. If I were to send back the Headstuds to the original person I maybe looking at 2 weeks so let me know if anyone knows where to get them from. Thanks.

 

try SOS they have them in stock

 

Isn't the concensus that these don't work for our cars? I read 10+ posts that say to use stock bolts instead.

 

Well I ended up using my stock head bolts. Hopefully I'll be able to some kind of compensation for them.

 

Phil did you use new head studs??? I thought you were supposed to use new ones due to the old ones stretch???? or is that with arp only??

 

You can use the old head studs if they aren't streched out. The helms even has an install procedure for used head studs. Used headstuds uses a 2 step. New head studs use a 3 step. Heads already on. I started dropping the oil pan but was tired so I'll continue tomorow.

 

Whatever you lazy bum. Dont make drive over and show you how its done.
j/k. You will have to stop by and show me your precision work when it is all done.

Ah damn phil i didnt even see this thread, why didnt ya tell me. I would have bitched at cody somemore, did you already use the other studs, or did you just notice that the one was missing?

 

Caesar I know you can blow me away with your expertise!! I did end up finishing it. I've been really lazy to finish this whole project up. I just need to up my motivation so I can get it finished. I'll definitly let you check it out. I'm also working slow because I want to make sure everything is done right.

Jihan- I already talked to cody and sent him pics. He hasnt got back to me about the headstuds yet. I don't know if he will but I think I should either get the right ones or a re-embursement of some kind. Also we need to get the AEM intake so when I'm finished I don't have to use pantyhose as a filter!!!!

 

daym phil what have you been up to with your car now. You sticking with it NA? I guess vortech doesnt have any updates on their my06 kit yet. Ive really been thinking about going NA as well. Im in the process of taking out the Richmond 4.57 gears and putting stock back on with the comptech diff. AJ are installing j's axle spacers for me and taking out that 6 puck and putting in a spoon disc. I think i need reliabilty now Since I dont have cesar around to help me out
