I am in search of some Head studs. Out of all of the engine parts that are available I am suprised that head studs arent as easy to find...Although I am still waiting on the return of my heads....STILL... I have everything else to the point of needing them... I am building a type IV 2.0. Any point in the right direction would be great!
Thanks, Thomas |

You are building a 2.0?
Are you doing something crazy with it that would require different studs? If you are using cast iron cylinders, the expensive studs won't give you all that much. Zach |

Use some good stock ones and don't over-torque them.
If you clamp the heads down any harder you will blow head gaskets when everything gets hot and expands. |

We run stock studs to 11;1 CR with iron cylinders. Retain stock head torques and roll with the stock studs.

QUOTE(Jake Raby @ May 3 2011, 09:39 PM)  We run stock studs to 11;1 CR with iron cylinders. Retain stock head torques and roll with the stock studs. Not building anything too over the top. I am just so used to building Domestic engines and APR are a staple when building them. I have been trying to benchmark as much as I can from others builds and I have your DVD to guide. I just wanted to know because I would rather have overkill then not enough. So many time in the past I have built engines and it doesnt take long to find the weak point. So far I think that I have eliminated the weak points along with the replacement of everything minus blocks. I have H beam rods since I hear that the stockers can get weak. I replaced the valve seats. Stainless exhaust valves... and changed out the oil plugs with thread in. Any other weak points that I didnt mention that you may chime in on? I am really open to anything. I want the most reliable engine I can build. Thanks, Thomas |
