Head studs
Head studs Hi everyone, continuing with my turbo build, and needing some head studs. I'm running a fully forged 5.3, ls9 head gaskets, arp main studs etc.
what are advantages of aged arp studs vs regular arp studs?
I need the most clamping force possible w/o going with 1/2 inch studs. are the aged studs worth it? their pricey as hell.
any suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks

Or autocorrect sucks and keeps correcting it to Costume Mage so you say screw it and throw on a "D" so it stops changing it.

Your BMEP pressure could be STATED ?
My method for sealing a 4K HP, high RPM engine, is too use my studs @ $ 100.00.
I then use a gasket, that allows fitment of Cooper Rings, a BFG Nitrogen Gas Filled S/S O-Ring.
This is the same method as is done in the Buick Indy engine.
The same method used to seal 10,000 PSI in a pipe.
When HP is lower, these items may not be required.

Well for one basic point, it makes it a lot easier to pull the heads in the future, don't have to mess around with trying to get all the coolant out of the bolt holes and drying them out.
I also like the idea of not repeatedly torquing the threads in an aluminum block.

^^^This is why I use studs on all my builds, albeit the cheaper options. I might consider better studs if I was build a monster turbo application.
