What ARP head studs do i use for 3v heads on teksid block?

[whippledpony]

i am jst wondering what arp head stud kit to use one my swap, the 2v/4v kit or the 3v kit? Only reason i ask is because the block is originally a 4v block but the heads are 3v so i am wondering if its the same or different to the block from the heads is all? if you guy can give me part numbers that would be great

Whats the advantage of using a 12 pt head vs a 6 pt head?

12pt More surface area on nut for wrench or socket to grab

It allows better/more points of contact with a matching socket so in general, less stress/torsion on the bolt head itself when you torque it.

Would it be worth the extra for the 12 pt? Are the heads snapping an issue? (sorry to thread jack)

same price

Mine are 12pt if it helps.

3v arp studs to short on my teksid swap, these studs do thread into the block 1 and 3/8 of inch so i could back the studs out up to 3/8" from the bottom and they will probably work, what you guys think

You sure you got 3V studs? The 3V studs are the longest. They should measure 9.5 inches over all length. The 2V/4V are shorter.

And the 2v/4v studs do work fine in a Teksid with 3v heads. I ran them in two different builds, just have to back them out a few turns. Just make sure you know which stud you have....the torque spec is different between the 2v/4v and 3v

 

[whippledpony]

I do have the 3v studs

Just set them so the end of the stud is 4 7/8" from the deck of the block.
