Thread: Headgasket/Studs

VET gasket and ARP studs. ARP studs use ARP2000 (look for my post in the past for pics), but are still 'short'. ARP makes them short ON PURPOSE. They say it 'helps' with stretching. I think I have all that info in my post as well.

I've been running this setup on my built turbo motor w/out any issues for over 2 years.

If your're going for some crazy 500whp+ build then Mazworx may be better.

intestesting, helps with stretching huh

I forget what spec was on the ARP studs 6 years ago when I did em but I do recall I clicked down a few extra ft lbs for whatever reason my head told me to.
