im starting to re-assemble my z6, and when installing me ARP headbolts. i noticed there are two bolts that sit higher than the rest... is this normal?

 

and when removed there ALL the same size. and no there not upside down.

 

umm, I dont think those are suppose to be like that. I just installed a d16z6 head and all the bolts are the same length. What model are the arp's for?

 

well when i installed mines, two were sitting higher than the others. they were the two by the distributor side. the rest were the same height. theyre holding fine at 210whp.

 

.... maybe you should let someone else assembly the block?

 

DewMota, man this is the second post I have seen from you this morning that gives absolutly no help to the people you are posting to. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed or something? Give the guy a break, he is just asking if the after market bolts are the right ones, or if they are not. AFter market items and even items from dealers can be packaged wrong at times, so ease up man. Go relax and let people who want to help fellow HTer's out help out.

D16,
Did the bolts come with instructions saying anyhting about install? If not call the company and see what they say, they might have packaged the wrong bolts or maybe they are correct. The manufacter will know for certain though.

well put.

definatly do what elevtro suggested, call the company and find out if you don't get a definate answer here. Better safe then sorry bro'

good luck, keep us updated.

 

my bro had the same problem or i remember someone on h-t did but it was a while back. i think it had to do with having them up side down or sumthin. so u might wanna try to flip the 2 that stand taller

 

You MUST make sure the longer threaded ends go into the block. This is important. You want the most threading in the block.
Also make sure you use the ARP lube included. Another important thing is to run a tap through the holes. If you do not, the studs won't be even.

Only 1 of them should be higher than the rest if I remember right (the passenger side closest to the firewall).

 

awesome. thanks for the help guys... im going to double check part# today, and try re-tapping those 2...

 

part# is correct... 208-4301

 

Only one should be higher than the rest. I believe on the distrbuter side. If you look at you Head with the valve cover off, there is a raised part which the longer stud should be.
