You just need vacuum hose so most parts stores should carry what you need.

I recently had a check engine light on my pickup that pertained to a vacuum line issue that caused an intake manifold runner control valve to be stuck open. Upon inspection of the vacuum lines, I found a crack in one of the rubber OEM vacuum hoses. It was hard and brittle due to age and heat from the nearby engine block. This new silicone vacuum hose was del

Aight - these super awesome ARP studs should be here shortly. The amazing washers too. Gonna watch a gazillion videos on how to install the intake with studs

I believe @General karthief mentioned to use a little oil with the washers. This still correct with these special washers?

Green light on the silicone hose here too. I would replace all those lines with it as they are all probably in bad shape.

Put some ARP lube between the nut and the surface of the washer it contacts. Remember a little bit goes a long way.

Not how I would have posted but I do agree,
I believe the ARP stuff has a coating but still some lube will help with accurate torque readings.

How do I know how far to put the studs in since they won’t bottom out? Just enough? Dealers choice?

I’m speculating the instructions will tell me. If not, I’ll prolly just do it to eye guessing.

Edit: Looking at the packaging from online, im speculating i should tighten until it bottoms (tops?) out?

AeroCoupe · May 23, 2023

The lower intake studs on my car bottom out being the lower threads are coarse and only threaded up the body of the stud so far.

JAA · May 23, 2023

one of the intake bolts is hex and kottered? Is this for the drivers side one near the firewall that originally had the stud?

I’ll do some searching, just odd and I missed if the online instructions had anything. No instructions on package.

JAA · May 23, 2023

Studs in, assuming the odd one is in the correct spot.

Waiting on shipping of “special” washers. They better whistle Dixie as I tighten them!

Lol. The new ones fit a lot more snug

No instructions on this kit. I may just call Arp today as I’m super curious.

My speculation is this is for that one original stud intake. Allen’d so that the second nut can be removed in the future without potentially un-torquing the stud.

I’m still a little perplexed with the hole. Do they really recommend a koetter pin there “just in case” that second nut starts coming loose? OEM certainly didn’t have anything like that.

AeroCoupe · May 24, 2023

@JAA - I have no idea as to why only the one stud has a hex end and the hole through it. I would not worry about it and just move on. The only lower intake stud that is used to attach something on the Coupe is the one for the heater core tubes on the passenger side and it just has a washer and regular hex nut and does not back off.

@General karthief - I reworded post #649 to get rid of the facial....
