Hey guys, 

 

I am re-assembling my head and I noticed when removing the arp head studs, a couple of the nuts had bottomed out on the thread. i was wondering if anyone knew the height required for the threads to not bottom out. 
 

From my measurements;

-Block face to nut 70mm (both wound in

all the way by hand) 

-Washer 3mm

-Factory head gasket 1mm93416C35-6D69-4EE6-B465-DB82D207A41C.thumb.jpeg.b53a3ad08f69ffddf76c3d6556d6114a.jpeg800B453E-C011-4AA3-B8C3-4890FF6097E8.thumb.jpeg.b0a8b1f395244ac1f6e5c149eb7c3945.jpeg

so this means if the height of the cylinder head face to the washer face Is less than 66mm the nut is not actually compressing the head down. Factoring in machining of the head I know there will be differences but does anyone know the factory height of the head? If it’s something much lower like 65 then I know it was just the stud not wound in properly but just want to make sure I’m getting proper torque as I have read some people double up on the washers

You need to run a bottoming tap (apparently Aussies call them plug taps) to clean up the hole. There are special taps called chasers but a carefully used normal tap will do. Maybe use a vernier to compare the depth of the stud holes.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
