Stock headbolts

Is it that one that was in his lot all burnt up? A white one I think.

I think he was already out of it when it went up...

From the looks of the pics, I'm gonna say something under the hood melted due to the heat, hit the exxhaust manifold, and the rest is history.

I want to do something about my stock un-torqued bolt, but they are holding 70psi so it's hard to want to mess with. I'm sure studs would be far better though.

Your wrong. Torque them down, you'll be fine. JMO

:lolly: Damnit.....have you ever had a mouthful of soda while reading chit like that and uncontrollably needed to spit it out, while thinking you could contain it if you kept your mouth shut only to realize your fackin nose was the next place of least resistance. Sunofa!

Far as I know with Jeff and most likely Darren, they are just reg. Stock bolts... Mine were in my CR.. But once again, I tend to break chit no matter what, but they did hold quite well for 4-6k miles.. ( Hard miles) on that motor.

As far as pattern... Same ol circle motion from inside out..
50,75,100,110,115,120,125,130,135,140,145,150. Allowing 5-10 between each.

Takes a long a$$ time but it worked...



(disclaimer again) Listen to me at your own risk. lol

This is similar to what I do but I take 2 days to do it.

There is too many people running stock head bolts to waste money on studs.

There are too many people with broken arp to waste money on them.

ugh. its just sketchy to do! i want to do it. but... then again i hate risking breaking a bolt or cracking a water jacket.

Same as a stud. Your choice, you don't have to go to 150. I stop at 135-140ft/lbs.

No they don't stretch, they break.

No they don't stretch at all. Seriously. You make it sound like every set of arp studs installed has a 90% breakage rate. How many really break that haven't been reused several times? Even if one was to break on install, it shouldn't be hard to get out if everything was properly prepped before initial install. I've heard of them breaking, but it isn't as common as stock head bolt head gaskets blowing with high boost.

Head gaskets blow with arp 2000 studs as well. So why spend 400 to chance it? That's all I'm saying. If your not gonna get 625's, then why bother with the 2000s.

This is a stress strain curve . Consider the soft steel to be stock bolts and the hard steel to be the arp's. Pretty much what these curves show is that the harder steel will take more stress before deforming, but once it reaches is ultimate tensile strength which is the highest peaks. The stronger but more brittle bolt will snap sooner. But whether you snap a bolt or stretch a bolt they are both useless really
