Head change- do the studs need replacing? - strictly_perv - 16-06-2013 As title really, just ordering parts for the car and just wondering if the studs need changing or not? RE: Head change- do the studs need replacing? - Piggy - 16-06-2013 if you mean headbolts....defo RE: Head change- do the studs need replacing? - Frosty - 16-06-2013 You mean the studs for the turbo manifold? RE: Head change- do the studs need replacing? - strictly_perv - 16-06-2013 FAIL! Yes I meant teh headbolts, wishful thinking I was getting studs but not on my budget ![]() Also does anyone know the thickness of the head gasket I should be getting? It's not for a skimmed head or anything. RE: Head change- do the studs need replacing? - Danny2009 - 16-06-2013 I've never changed the head bolts when I've done a head change ... Edit. I always go for a 3 notch good quality MLS gasket RE: Head change- do the studs need replacing? - Frosty - 16-06-2013 i went for 3 notch when i got mine. i got all victor reinz bits. head set, head gasket and head bolts for £74 RE: Head change- do the studs need replacing? - Danny2009 - 16-06-2013 Where did you get that from pal? Ill be dropping my head ff for skimming to prow so need to source a good gasket RE: Head change- do the studs need replacing? - Frosty - 16-06-2013 I got the bits from a local car parts place. Your best bet is to phone around to see if anyone can get victor reinz bits RE: Head change- do the studs need replacing? - Piggy - 16-06-2013 headbolts are like 12-16quid a set...not much to pay for the assurance RE: Head change- do the studs need replacing? - Jonny81191 - 16-06-2013 measure piston protrusion to check the gasket thickness, I think the last one I saw ended up being a 2 notch.. And for the money you may as well do the headbolts. RE: Head change- do the studs need replacing? - zx_volcane - 16-06-2013 headbolts are stretch, you can measure them and see if they are still within tolerance. I've reused them before, not snapped one in the block yet! head gasket thickness, just use whatever, really doesn't make much odds as they're very very close. RE: Head change- do the studs need replacing? - darrenjlobb - 16-06-2013 3 notch gasket, new bolts, can re use, but wats the point for 15 quid, altho if ur planning on raping the crap out of it, then uprate ![]() RE: Head change- do the studs need replacing? - strictly_perv - 16-06-2013 Just went to order head gasket, head bolts, rocker gasket, cambelt kit and some glowies for £147 from Eurocarparts but the f*cking card isn't working. So I'll try again tomorrow. It's another £30odd for the head so it's making a costly mistake having this cambelt snap but it should be a good engine after this (until the rods make an exit). Cheers for the help guys! RE: Head change- do the studs need replacing? - Danny2009 - 16-06-2013 Use carparts4less cheaper than euro mate ![]() RE: Head change- do the studs need replacing? - strictly_perv - 16-06-2013 I've just checked and the parts I'm ordering are the same price. Aren't they the same company anyway? RE: Head change- do the studs need replacing? - Danny2009 - 16-06-2013 Fair enough thought it mite be worth a mention They are but think car parts for less come straight from warehouse to you usually a little cheaper RE: Head change- do the studs need replacing? - strictly_perv - 17-06-2013 Managed to find a £15 off voucher code so managed to get the lot for £133 which is pretty fair. |
