[Vwdiesel] 1.6 mm head stud kit

[Patrick Dolan]

Thanks for that (I read the last post before this one).   I imagine the VW gasser studs should work quite well for TD application.  As I said before, though, ARP stud kits are very specific to each engine (it is more than a dimensional thing) - as is the toque required to achieve the required gasket clamping force without cylinder head distortion.   Before using the gasser studs, I would recommend a call to ARP tech services.
