Calling COMP461!

I hear you are an ARP Master Supplier. I bought a tubular manifold, and I'd like to get some studs to hang it on my cylinder head with. Can you hook a brother up?

 

[DTanklage]

wonder why most headers come with 12 point bolts...

Beats the stuffins outta me. I've hung a couple manifolds in my time, and I certainly don't have fun trying to catch bolts in the cylinder head while holding a manifold in my other hand.

 

[DTanklage]

i think its cuz you can get to hex bolts easier with a cast manifold

easier than you can with a header

can always throw a stud on either end and 12 pnts for the hard to get ones

 

[PRattenbury]

Well, that's true.

 

[full pull]

I dont think you will need ARP studs for your header, any stud from the auto parts will work just fine.

 

[Timebomb]

I used studs from a Volvo D12.. (Turbo to manifold studs) works great and are a good material.

Allot of times you will see them with a 12pt head that is actually one size smaller than the bolt should have just to make it easier to get a wrench/socket on... also with a 12pt head you dont have to be able to swing the wrench so far to get to the next flat spot. I have installed big tube headers that without the 12pt you would NEVER be able to tighten the bolt. :Cheer:

Until the big fat ratching end wont fit and your forced to use a damn regular wrench.

ITS LIKE THE STONE AGE:bang

 

[PRattenbury]

Yeah, sometimes the old open-end will save your day.

 

[tony597fitter]

I've had my Gearwrench brand ratcheting wrenches for about 6 years now, and I dont think I have used a regular box end wrench since.

The gearwrench brand arent much bigger than a standard boxend.

 

[PRattenbury]

My Snap-Ons are bigger.

 

[dhrsterling]

Bluepoint wrenches here. They are my favorite tools in the box.

 

[XLR8R]

My tool is bigger than your tool... :hehe:

 

[PRattenbury]

Don't think I'd win any contest like that..:hehe:

 

[Phooker]

I like tacos

Gear wrenches don't liked getting hit with a hammer though. The old fashioned combo wrench still has its place. But its getting fewer and farther between those places.
