nevermind?

 

whats wrong with ARP's ? discuss, lol

 

I dont like them at all as a head stud....discuss

 

lol, discuss

 

GE's feel a lot more solid when torquing them, ive used multiples of several brands of heads studs, nothing comes close, im getting mixed input from GE and a distributor that they were discontinued...and then oh wait no we have them.

 

LOL...

I know they stopped making B16 studs a while back...but the GSR/LSVTEC are still available. unfortunately with a recently huge price increase but oh well

 

Got a set of brand new B18C's if anyone needs them.................

 

Discuss, lmao! Sit down, tell me how your feeling...

 

Blue Print Racing makes similar ones...

 

I like the ge headstuds better, seem to have a better finish and tensil is slightly higher than the non L19 arps.

I hope they continue making them and that the price doesn't go threw the roof like everything else seems to be.

That's the problem with the gov just printing more money, lowers the value of a dollar, prices go up, esp in overseas items were their economy may be doing better than ours.

 

lol....they still make the b18c1 head studs because of their lsvtec kits, etc. they have sky rocketed in price. No bueno. Discuss.

 

I believe: http://www.a1technologies.com/index_flash.php mfg's GE's studs. Maybe go directly to them?

 

yup, anyone can jump on this. Just come up with the $20K and prepare for another $20K blanket order within a few months and you have yourself your own headstud kit.

 

lol, sounds awesome ill take out a loan tomorrow.

 

Isn't that the American way? Discuss...

Matt, you go through another motor? What's wrong with the ones in the car?

 

From the many threads I have seen... most 600+hp B builds use Golden Eagle...

I too wonder why... stretch with ARPs and headgasket goes on high hp? Golden Eagle different design then ARP never held a GE in my hand...?

A lot of us H guys use ARP's with no issues... my buddies 600hp and 750hp builds...

 

Yeah, the GE studs bottom out in the block whereas the ARP's do not. A proper stud should bottom out in the block.

On our SR20 blocks they are the same way. The ARP's only end up using about 1/2 of the available head bolt threads when tightened down whereas a proper bottoming out stud uses all of them.

I use the B16a GE headstuds on my SR20 and its seen 550+ for over a year without issues and will now be seeing 700+ and with the Cosworth gasket i doubt i will see any problems with stretching studs or blowing the gasket. The studs were still tight as hell when I removed the head for some refreshing after a year of torture. The b16a studs are almost identical to the SR20 studs only difference is the top of the stud is about 1/4" taller which is no big deal at all. The bottoms are identical. Mazworx now makes a really good proper bottoming out stud for us using the ARP 2000 material so the tensile strength is a bit stronger than the GE's but the thing is the price.

The GE's i got to my door off ebay for $110 shipped, the new Mazworx ones are $225. I will continue to use my GE's, I love them and they are proven on honda motors in some cases to well over 1000whp so yeah i think they can hold just fine.

 

A1 tech., discuss.

 

Cool story, bro

 

wtf....i bought a set 2 months ago for 100 shipped on ebay...now they are 140+shipped..169 in the golden eagle website...how much do the L19 studs cost from arp?

 

throw a ball bearing down in the hole before threading arp stud into block....discuss.

 

Just discuss
