jayc-glanza17 Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 yes h_d where did you get them from?? PM if you like, but be great for the starlet community to share that info.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Isnt the added benifit from the studs because they are larger diameter? I know studs are stronger but surely if the options there to have bigger its future proofing your engine? If it were me id get the work done now so i didnt have to have it apart again if things got crazy lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H_D Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I have been running these studs for almost 2 years now,I can get hold of them but dont think Im allowed to advertise them omn the forum as im not a trader.They come from USA and usually take 4-6 weeks to arrive as they are made to order.I ordered 2 sets in 2011.

glanzagee Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 you will also need to mod the collits that locate the head to block and the stud under the intake cam gear will need looking at for contact Quote Link to post Share on other sites
