It would be much more economoical to o ring or fire ring your head/block than to use 13mm studs, I think 13mm studs would be unecessary.

im just thinking if the head is lifting that much at 27 psi to blow a headgasket then wouldnt it make sense for more clamping force? I know about the o-ringing and i am 100 % going to do it. I want to raise my boost pressure alot by summer and a squirt of nitrous. But if you think it wouldnt make sense to go to 13mm then i probably wont do it. what do you think about helicoiling head bolts assuming it is properly done?

What brand gaskets are you using? Victor Reinz is the best gasket for VW IDI.

Connecting rods are out. What measurements do I need in order for the Folks at ARP to figure out a part number? Tell me please what measuerments, and how to get them. I would like to order the head studs, mainset, and connnecting rod bolts tommorow.
Thanks,
Jim

I think they need to know that the heads are round... maybe the diameter.
The diameter of the section that is pressed into the rod.
...and the length.
I was messing with this and the threads on them are 9Mx1. 9mm, with 1mm threads.
I don't suppose the threads need to be the same but it gives you an idea of the diameter.
I'm thinking they might be the same as on the VW 1.8 gasser engine.... if you can find that out for sure let us know, that's an easy application to find. They don't usually list the ARP parts for a VW diesel engine.
They talk about using small block chevy(?) rod bolts because they are so much cheaper... difference being the tops are oval shaped and wouldn't hold as well.

Just contacted ARP via e-mail with info. I am waiting on contact from them. I will post with any relevant info.
Would it be better to just pull one of the bolts and mail it to them?
On the ARP line of this thread, I was told recently that you could strengthen the 020 transmission by replacing some internal rivits with arp bolts? Subject came up when I was talking about looking for a stronger tranny to prevent failure when running increased HP. Will have to call back the guy I was talking to. Does anyone have any knowledge of this?

Sounds like this is what you are referring too. Ring gears are attached to differential by rivets on most production transmissions. Service in this area involved drilling out rivets and replacing with a special bolt kit. The VW PN was 171 498 088 A for the kit. Regards

I was also going to get one of these ring gear kits however I thought that if the whole trans was going to be apart then I'd definitely have a limited slip diffenential in while It was apart.I'll take a risk on the rivits and If they go then I won't mess around :wink:.My engines have been making anywhere between 110-160+ whp and I have not yet had any issues while driving like I stole it not like I'm trying to break it.

If someone happens to have a spare 1.9td connecting rod laying about, I would appreciate it if you could send it to me. Why you may ask? I have solved the riddle. I will have the ARP part number for the 1.6TD connecting rod bolts in 2-3 weeks. If someone will send me a 1.9TD connecting rod, I will be able to supply that number as well. Send it complete, the whole rod, minus bearings.
