mob said:I think another good thing about studs is you can line the gaskets up perfectly, I have no expeierence changing heads yet, im going to be doing a gt40p swap soon and I will be getting the arp bolts, either way ARP has quality parts, like said before if you have no boost or spray, the bolts should give you all you need.
I think it has something to do with stretching. With studs, stretching really doesn't matter because the nuts will be pulling the head down to the studs which are already in the block.Cman88 said:The gaskets will be lined up from the dowel pins. Studs are reusable, they claim the bolts aren't. I can't see how they wouldn't be, so long as they aren't re-used a hundred times. I'm running ARP head bolts simply because they were cheaper then a stock set.
That's how I understand it as well.88 Fox GT said:I think it has something to do with stretching. With studs, stretching really doesn't matter because the nuts will be pulling the head down to the studs which are already in the block.
just unscrew them out of the blockSynned said:I'm kind of a mechanical newbie but,
how do you get studs out once they are already into the block?
88 Fox GT said:The way I usually get any stud out is to take two nuts and thread them onto the stud, tighten them together, then loosen the bottom nut and it should start screwing the stud out.
They might. I have never done studded heads though, so I don't know for sure.Cman88 said:Im pretty sure the studs have an allen tip on them. I know they do for Honda applications so I cant see why the Mustang applications wouldn't have one as well.
