Thread: My VE build. ACL, ARP, P&P, SUPERTECH, etc

Checked bore in all cylinders today, only .0003" out of round, and .0006" bore variance between cylinders.. 1-3 are nearly identical.. #4 is almost .0007" larger than the others

Still tons of cross hatch throughout all cylinders.. Ima check svc limits

so uh, appearently I have a set of GTiR ARP Headstuds f/s now.. $110 shipped

Not using them? What happened? You also have to follow the classified rules and post in the appropriate section btw.

Nope. GTiR studs are different than VE/DE/DET.. Regular thread pitch is M10x1.5 GTiR is M12x1.75 according to my thread pitch tools

And I started a thread there.. this is still my build thread

or should I have the block machined?

Ohhh yeah unless you had a gtir bottom end you can't use the 12mm studs from the GTIR you have to use the smaller ones.

You'd have to get the head machined too, I believe. Just sell them and buy the correct ones.

Yeah the head needs to be machined +1mm and also to suit the dowel. If you were going boost i would sell you my spare built GTIR bottom

Actually they are M11x1.5. The block can be machined and the head will need to be also if you run the GTi-R headstuds, but your doing N/A from what I remember so the regular size studs will be fine.

The box on the studs say m12, but they do look m11....
