MrInKryption Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Posted October 18, 2011 Yep that's right. Pretty sure part numbers I have are for 4age long studs. I got a price through my wholesale supplier at $260. Which is a lot dearer than Mitch-12's and boostedk's group buy prices. Is this for a boosted or big compression "K"? If not it's not a real necessity for them. Stu. It's not really for any application my headgasket is fine. I was just wanting to know why they were so good so in the future I know I what I need to by. The car I have is as stock as a rock. I have plans just need to wait to finish year 12 exams first. Quote
diegoh Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) In your case I'd probably use them myself. HPC will help in your situation a heap too!!! Also are you using genuine Toyota head gaskets? From memory are around $50. Do you have a measurement of the head top to bottom(mine has been savagely milled) Reason I ask is that(and Mitch can you confirm this) with my milled 5k head I'd have to use 2 washers as the studs are a bit longer than the factory bolt. Stu. The 5k is the original 76,000klm engine in my 1991 liteace However I'm about to do a full LPG only conversion using a proper LPG carburettor from a nissan 200B LPG only model. By chance of luck it bolts right up to the K manifold just need to open it up for the larger butterflys. Got quoted 155 for silver (1300 degrees) and 175 (1500 degrees) for black HPC coating for the cast iron twin port outlet manifold. Might as well also get the ARP kit.
