[Vwdiesel] Head Studs

[The Lecrones]

Ken  I recieved my head studs from Arp and they look great.I bought kit no.
251-4701.They are a little long up where the nut goes on (1/4) which does
not hurt a thing and the only other thing that would be different is that
the undercut on the stud would start up beond where the head gasket sets.We
still have to center the head gasket even with this because the bolt holes
in the gasket have clearence.Since they don't have to tool up and make a
special run they sell there kits like I bought for less, $110.I,m going to
give them a try.
I think the torque spec is for the motor the kit was made for 80lbs. We are
calling them this week. I feel that this is to high for our setup.   Jim
