Just wondering if anybody is interested in head stud kits for their 6cyl
I have 3 sets coming with ARP 12point nuts & washers. The cost would be $350 a set. These studs have been tested in a few applications now and have passed with flying colors. If you are interested please pm me and i will get back to you as soon as possible.

Are they re-usable or do you have to get new ones every time the head comes off?
DO you think they would be worthwhile for a motor that's been properly machined, has an O-ringed deck and copper head gasket? |

the studs can be used a number of times.....
Would greatly improve the whole package...no point having all that done only to stretch std bolts and risk damage.

studs are fully re-usable, they are a good idea in a engine that running 25-30psi+. but ive never seen any trouble with normal bolts. 6boost was running 32psi in his and it was still on stock bolts for a long time never had any trouble.

studs can be fitted or removed with the head in place....
fritzz is correct that you cant get the head on & off with studs in place. have seen heads lift with std bolts with as little as 15psi boost

i wouldnt mind these, fair few dollars but im sure its worth it for a top level motor. Ive also got a big thick ***** off copper gasket sitting here, and its not a good idea to retain standard bolts because of the added thickness, means fewer threads are properly seated. I just have to wait for my au block to arrive so i can get that O-ringed and away i go.
