I might be picking up a set of head studs second hand
I don't think there would be any issues with running used studs, because they don't stretch...
but, am I over looking something?
I have a tendency to do things "cheap" first, then "right" later... but in theory, this is both cheap and right
any input?
pic from last weekends trans swap:
Why is he selling his studs ? I'd want to keep them and use then again on another engine if mine broke the block.
its just a spare parts pile I would assume..
a lot of people are selling stuff off these days becuase of the bad economy...
its a good time to buy parts on various sites..
As long as someone didn;t seriously mangle the threads or somehow bend them.. I bought my 11mm studs used...
I paid $13 a piece for mine new, that is one spendy piece of hardware. If you can get them cheaper and they are in good shape then kudos to you
where did you buy yours new?
12mm?
Headbolts.com has the 11mm, the 11mm undercut, and 12mm ARP studs.
When I bought the 11mm undercuts a year or so ago they were $110, now they seem to go for $132. 12mm studs are $159, shipping anywhere in the US is apparently now $7.
good stuff...
well, if I can make this deal go thought I think I will be ahead
I would reuse headbolts without hesitation. That's probably the biggest reason I bought my ARP studs. I think we all know how much we like to take these things apart and buying a new set of headbolts each time did not appeal to me.
bought mine at summit racing and picked them up for 132.-- I would much rather went cheaper but none available at the time.
