i have a set of golden eagle headstuds for my motor. it the midst of my motor sitting and cleaning out the garage, etc i've lost a few of the washers and nuts. i called golden eagle and they told me that i would have buy a complete new set of headstuds.

im lost at to what to do. i dont want toi goto the hardware store and just pick up random nuts and bolts or whatever

 

Call up some of the local shops. Maybe they'll have something around that would replace it....or go through the cleaning stuff and search for them. Dumpster dive

 

i might do that.
mainstream should have something.. hopefully

too late to dumpster dive, long gone by now

 

Batlground is open too until 8 I think.

I noticed your FS thread. What color is your EM1? Black, blue, or red. I see a red trunk in a pic. I want to buy the stock bumpers and side skirts if they are blue.

 

its mr.
i dont have any stock exterior parts left really.

 

Try checking if arp sells them individual, i think they do cause the same thing happened to me and i got in contact with someone that sold them to me.

 

they arent arp....

 

Someone must have some gsr nuts and washers laying around....

 

you cant just go to the hardware store, they aren't the same quality as what comes in the kit.

 

It doesnt matter that their not ARP. They are the same thread pitch and same ****


call ARP

 

try JEGS .. if they have or can source some for you...they sell individual parts like that.....

 

You really dont want to mix and match nuts. What i recommend doing is ordering a full set of ARP or like nuts - and use a complete matching set. The reason you dont want to mix and match is because some nuts will tighten down differently even if you torque them to the same amount. With that said you could get an uneven seal from the head to the block - which could/might blow a head gasket.

The ARP nuts and washers arnt that much money - and you can ordering them individually.

could you better explain to me how identical, but different brand, nuts torqued to the same spec, "tighten down differently" ? I agree with a new set should be purchased, but i don't understand how nuts can "tighten down differently" if you spec them all the same (given same thread pitch and an accurate torque wrench).

 

The real issue here is that Golden Eagle is, well, not providing good service.

DOWN WITH GE.

It's not necessary to buy a whole new set of nuts. Torquing a nut onto a stud isn't about "seating" the nut. Actually, it's not about the nut at all - the goal is to stretch the stud as much as possible without surpassing it's maximum yeild.

If by some unexplained science you replace just the nuts you need and they don't "seat" as well as the others, what's the worst that could happen? It doesn't preload the stud to it's theoretical limit? That means the stud will only hold 210,000 lbs of pressure instead of 220,000 lbs - either way, both numbers are unrealistic extremes. Or perhaps the replacement nuts "seat" too well and you over-torque them? Luckily, the torque specs provided by stud manufacturers have a safety margin built in to protect against torquing past maximum yield.

Bottom line, don't waste your time buying a whole new set of nuts. Just buy what you need.</TD></TR></TABLE>


or just take my that i just offer to him...

 

yea so call arp and get the 3 or whatever you are missing


and f' GE for being stingy and screw the idiot that said they wont seat the same. a nuts a nut is a nut. They are identical in shape size form and I would be willing to bet you could not distinguish between the two (minus one might say ARP on it)

Well different brands arnt identical for one - even if they say they are - its unlikely they are. And we are talking about $3 or $4 nuts here, why risk it. Just get a complete set and be done with it.
