muaythailuke Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Hi guys, Im just about to piece together my engine after putting forgies etc in it and i was just wonering what your opinion is on the ARP head bolts. Are they worth the $260 your paying for them? Has anybody had trouble or anything with standard ones? In just doing the rebuild should I replace them with new ones, whether they be standard or ARP?

exXU1 Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 $260.00 for what a GTR , if so where do you get them for that much , that's cheap. It is simlpe as this ,why risk using cheaper studs and risk all the other work you have done . do not re use your old bolts!

proengines Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Is that price for bolts or studs and nuts? If it's studs it's worth every cent of it, the extra clamping force is cheap insurance.
