ARP head bolts

[guy plain]

 what should a person expect to pay for these? i asked....was told they are $280 plus tax... so $ 300 sound right to every one? sounds high to me but i did ask at only one place.... thanks for any input or tips on a cheaper place to get these..

$170 here plus $7 shipping and sales tax depending on where you live assuming we're talking 1.6td or n/a.

[guy plain]

Call KMS Tools Car Parts with ARP part #204-4706 and get a quote from them. They can send them out to the Kamloops store if needed. Lead time will be a few weeks as they're not stocked though

ARP doesn't make head bolts for these engines so it's gotta be studs.

ok, i wasnt sure if they did or not..

$280 bucks for head studs is RIDICULOUS!!!

[guy plain]

yup ... studs....sorry i was in shock over the price..... not a fan of the tty bolts.... and i want to upgrade... ARP STUDS.. and the 1.9 metal head gasket... i think i have that right now.... they are for a 1.6 td

i thought they should be like $110-$129..

shipping shouldnt be much either..

Thats for the fordcosworth studs that we use for our engines.  They make a stud specifically for the TDI's that cost alot more, the number is floating around here somewhere.

the cosworth studs are cheaper and only torque to 100ft/lbs from what ive heard. I have the vw specific ones they torque to 125ft/lbs and i picked them up for $200 my cost and i had to pay freight because they were gonna take to long to get here. So $280 isnt bad. They are $3-400 regular price from what ive seen.

holy S#!T... thats alot of coin.. guess im never going to be running a set of those. they are in the realm of a "giles superpump" now, in my books..

closest i will be to getting any of those, is in my dreams..

[guy plain]

Guys, here's a place I bought the same studs from and IIRC, I paid ~$120.00 for the set.

However, be aware; a lot of the vendors that sell this same set of head studs, will also tell you they are not made for diesel engines (this vendor also told me they were for "gas only" - but he had the cheapest price I could find at the time).

So, I called ARP directly and spoke with one of their sales engineers. He stated they were OK for either gas or diesel.

Also, if you actually read the "specs" at ARP for their various stud kit options, you'll quickly notice that there is NO difference in how they spec a fastener for either gas or diesel, and ARP confirmed there is no difference. It's what I assembly my engine with and I'm close to finding out their true worth.

the ARP2000 diesel studs are INDEED different than the gasser studs.. like, made from a different alloy..
