arp head studs

[CMF_Majiga]

anyone had these made if so where? and is my only option mailing them studs to be copied? or is there another thicker stud of similar length i could re drill and tap to suit them?
any ideas would be appreciated.

 

[CMF_frank2]

they will just need a length measurement surely ? good luck finding some flanged nuts and a strong enough socket that will fit down that hole tho !

 

[CMF_Majiga]

hmm i guess not then back to the drawing board thx frank

 

[CMF_frank2]

you would need these 12 sided nuts eh, and a 3/8 drive deep 12mm socket should just about stand 100nm of torque, but i think you would need to grind some off the flanges tho

 

[CMF_Mickb]

I have a set in mine, I can have a look tomorrow and see if I have the part numbers. The are off the shelf, not custom made. no grinding necessary for me.

 

[CMF_SSUK]

Same here, been done a few times now. No access to the car right now though.

 

[CMF_Majiga]

thx guys been a headache

 

[CMF_Mickb]

No luck mate. Give arp a call?

 

[CMF_Majiga]

no luck with arp so far. they reckon they got squat i see a whole bunch of micras online with them no one has a part number.

 

[CMF_frank2]

when you find some bear in mind the pitch of the thread on the nut, and the (60deg) torque angle setting majiga

 

[CMF_Majiga]

yeah good point im leavin it to the engine builder to find but that could take another year.

...if you ask really nicely I'll give you the arp part number.

 

[CMF_Majiga]

tmrs may i have the part number please hehe if you have it would be awesome may even have strawberries on top lol

 

[CMF_turbo march-rolling shell]

Lol arp part number is 151-4203

 

[CMF_Majiga]

tyvm tmrs much appreciated.

 

[CMF_Pierce]

Hey TMRS,

Just wondering if it matters that the parts search comes up with:

Ford Escort
Head Stud Kit

Kit #: 151-4203
Jobber Price: $151.79

Are they a perfect match?

 

[CMF_Majiga]

yeah mate fit them today to see. they will work a treat.

 

[CMF_Pierce]

great to hear

I'll buy a set today - I was holding off due to possible stuff around.

 

[CMF_Majiga]

yeah the engine builder laughed and said wow a part i don't have to stuff around with.

 

[CMF_Pierce]

Great to hear

Did you have springs n tappets made ? If so was there any reason because I'm not sure I need them though I could be swayed...

 

[CMF_plattsy]

anyone have part number for arp manifold studs? do they make them even????

 

[CMF_Pierce]

My exhaust and intake manifold have nuts over the bolts off the bloc. Surely loctite nuts are enough?

 

[CMF_plattsy]

yea, but when i take the manifold off, those block studs are going to break. its a nissan. haha!

 

[CMF_Pierce]

Haha fair enough, considering that id replace them but mine are in new condition as they were weatherproofed well with a bit of anti rust and engine bay paint a while ago.

 

[CMF_plattsy]

yea im just scouring ebay uk to find stuff....

 

[CMF_Majiga]

nah going with new stock spring no point makin it work harder than it has to and using stock cam thingo's too with jun titanium retainers

 

[CMF_plattsy]

where do people find all these jap parts! jun reatainers, fancy flywheels etc. point me in the right direction guys!

 

[CMF_kovert.k11]

[CMF_plattsy]

Majiga,

I just put my engine into PLR at northside QLD, they were pretty helpful, didn't try to swindle me or tell me i need this and that...

I was talking to him about getting some adjustable cam gears as well. They said they'll look into it and get back to me.
