Idrees Posted July 17, 2011 Author Posted July 17, 2011 The settings are recommended 20lb ft, 40 and 60. The first two were fine, but the wrench wouldn't click at 60. So did the bolt back down to 40, and tried 50ft lb. Clicked fine, so tried 55 - again it clicked fine. However at 60 I gave it quite a turn but still no click. The turn from 55-60 should be the same as 50-55 right? So I don't understand why I was doing more than that turn and still not reaching 60lb ft! It wasn't just one bolt as I tried it on others too. However the stock torque settings worked fine; 22nm, 44nm and 90 degrees (with a torque angle gauge). Quote
shorty Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 The 60 is very hard dude, seemed to turn for ages and i thought tge same the first time i used arp bolts, i realy wouldnt use the oem settings as its a totaly different type of bolt so that tiny difference in slack will be taken up im movement under boost if that makes sense, hence the head lift that you got last time. Like lew says just crack out your guns and torque her up! Quote
rorenapier Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Factory settings wont cut it due to the material used in manufacturing the head bolts are diffirent!! Mine are done per ARP and i never had any issues torquing them down. Quote
Idrees Posted July 17, 2011 Author Posted July 17, 2011 It's not about cracking out the guns, I just didn't want to snap it I'll try it again then. Quote
shorty Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 I think the snap from last time was just bad luck, is like anything when enough are mass produced the odd one will be cack! Think you just had a cack bolt last time bud Quote

ForgedV Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 ^thats a joke right? You've only just got it sorted!? How much for your injectors and brake set up again mate I lost the old pm Quote
Dean @RW-Developments Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 we have seen enough crap arp's bolt's snapping!!!, there shocking, go 4age stud's dude no worries with themsorry to spam but are 4age head bolts the same thread etc ?act as uprated? Quote
rorenapier Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 From what ive read, its being broken due to a dodgy head gasket. (Thats what i read between the lines anyway)Idree's your a nugget if you do. Quote
Idrees Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 Dean the 4AGE bolts have different thread pattern. I think the block or head is cracked. The headgakset is fine, the head is torqued'd down right, The heads not warped, but piston #1 is still getting flooded real bad. Compression test shows 160 on all 4 too, piston #1 is the only one getting wet. Quote
ep91face Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 bring it to a reputable mechanic and get it all checked out properly mate, get this sorted and dont go ahead breaking it! however if you do break it i have 2 HTC desires in white if your interesting in swapping some parts Quote
mikey b Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 4AGE studs are M10 x 1.25mm and standard are M9 x 1mm, on the athena HG you need to open up the holes to accept the studs.Sorry to hear whats happened Quote
Liam_D Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 You really shouldnt break after all the work! But im interested in the brake set-up if you can do me a good price dude. Quote
Amjad Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Sorry to hear this Glad I saw it in the flesh though at least once Quote

N80Jamie Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 As Amjad said, at least i got to see it in the flesh at JP2! Probably the best looking Glanza i know! Quote
Raz Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 That is dissapointing indeed but, i guess we all got to move on some time. I personally never dreamt of owning a Starlet. Quote
Starbuck Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Shame to read this. Was a lovely looking car. If the starlet market is dead, does it mean the end of id-workz starlet kits? Will there be a 'closing down sale' on them? Quote
GTnomez Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 ^ I doubt that would happen!Bad news Id! But needs must! Quote
