zactek Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Hi everyone, I'm putting my head back together and using ARP's stainless steel intake and exhaust studs. What's good to use on the threads;grease? loctite? anti-seize? nothing? :roll: Thanks a lot Zack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zactek Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Yep, ARP has 'em :shock: 8mmX 1.75 in. for the intake and 8mmx2 in. for exhaust is what I'm using. A little pricey, but I trust stainless Zack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinnburn Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Use anit-seize with anything going into aluminum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 use antisiese o teh threads too, stailness likes to gaul and you'll end up tearing threads or breakign studs if one does that. I'd use antisieze int eh head, I'd rather the stud backed out than to break it off if somethig nsiezed. you can always put a stud back in, but it's a PITA to fix a broken stud :wink: .

T_sandman Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 You're probably also going to get some electrolysis so be sure to coat them pretty well with the anti-seize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted_One Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 I just helicoiled ALL the exhaust stud threads on a DSM head because the fool that had the head before me over tightend the studs or had the studs in and out too much.... all the threads came out on the studs! So if you guys see any marginal threads throw a helicoil in it... or you'll have a stud(s) that will pull right outta the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zactek Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Thanks guys, so no Loctite huh? I usually use anti-seize on everything.. :? BTW, the ARP studs have a cool little broached head on the outside end with a 3mm allen key so you don't have to use pliers or 2 nuts to screw them in Zack 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
