ARP Head Studs or Standard Head Bolts at 400bhp+
Out of interest who is running what on these?
I run the ARP Head Studs on my 2.65 Litre and Head Bolts on my 2.2 Litre.
Once over the 400/400 barrier is it worth going to the ARP head studs for the best seal on the head or?
Just being nosy really.
Cheers.
Jon.

Bob, just reread your post there. Do you torque the head bolts down more than the recommended amount in the workshop manual or just the middle ones?
Thanks.
Thanks.
