ARP studs

[RCone]

how come nobody has any in stock. Is there a manufacturing problem with them?

 

[jwilliams3]

Who did you try?

 

[HeavyHauler]

Don M should have them in stock.

I was told that ARP was out of the short ones. I found some at Summit (more money), but they were the only place that had them in stock that I found. They no longer have them in stock either.

Paul, thanks for the comeback. Is it the short ones that I need?

 

[bmoeller]

Did you try here? (A TDR member)

 

[paulb]

The set has both long and short ones. If I remember the set has 6 long ones, and the rest are short.



Did you blow a head gasket, or is this a perventative measure before the next bomb?

No paul, didn't blow head gasket. Don't want to so would be call preventive. Also would like to know the procedure you used. Could PM with the details? Did you use anti-seize? When u first installed did you only torque to 96? also when retorquing, did you let it cool all of the way down or did you do it slightly warm and lastly have you only retorqued once to the 120lbs?

Don't quote me on this, but I think Poole's prices are $50 cheaper than elsewhere.

I used the ARP anti-sieze. I did only torque it to 96 the first time, and 120 after that. I let it cool overnight. When doing the re-torque I removed the nuts (one at a time), and re-applied the ARP anti-sieze. I marked the nuts with a marker, and checked to see if the nuts ended up tighter. They did after the first one, but I check it a third time, and it was the same as the first re-torque. I torqued the head by Cummins sequence the first time, and then line torqued it after that.
