Headstuds

[xsv_32]

Im nearing the completion of my rb30det and im coming up tight on funds trying to finish it and get the car on the road.

What i want to know is will the rb25det headstuds that came with the head ok to re use? Or should i save up a bit more and get some arp studs. Im running a set up to make some decent horsepower so will the factory items do alright? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks,

I know of two people who have done this conversion and used the original head bolts, they were in visually good condition and if torqued up properly, they should be fine. If they dont look right, don't use them. Obviously it would be best to buy new ones if you can, but there is no reason the original ones wont be ok, just remember, they are probably 10-15 years old now...

Nuy new ones, if you dont it will eat at you forever!!! lol. But seriousley, its a reliability thing so i wouldn't skimp on that

Buy New ones or even better save up a little more for ARP head studs.... worth it in long run....
