[rb420sx]

ok so ive been looking for sum main studs for my rb20 and can only find a couple different ones but are the main studs all the same for the 20/25/and 26. and i was told by a shop by me that the old school L28 main studs will work to??? but i just want a little more info thanks.

Look on ARPs website to see if the studs have the same dimensions.

if you read the stickies you'll see my master arp list for these engines.

go to ace hard ware, i bought a few there there 2.40 each, i would never pay 160 bucks for 12 studs thats rediculous

just take a stud out of your motor and match it up

[Carl H]

you ARE kidding right?you'll trust the main girdle and crank to a bolt you bought at ace hardware that proly isnt even grade 6?that has to be the most rediculous thing ive heard...main studs are subjected to rather extreme tensile loads.i'd rather reuse stock hardware than do that...that is just irrsponsible and ill educated.

they are either grade 6 or 8, almost 3 a piece at ace is a pretty penny for a stud, i bought 4 turbo studs from there with all stainless bolts and lock washers id punch my self in the face before i spent that much on arp ani bolts, head studs yeah i can understand, manifold studs not so much

i just said they have em also, i reused my stock ones caz they were fine i jsut bought 6 studs 4 for turbo and 2 for wastegate, i was jsut sayin they have em...

if he only needs 2 or so, it would be fine to use, jsut helping him out carl.

we are talking about main studs/bolts... hence the ones that hold the crank to the engine block. Not the studs that merely hold your turbo manifold up.

Slight difference.

[Largekid]

haha, yea. I'm using ace stuff to hold my turbo on, but would never dream of using them anywhere on the inside of my motor.

[black240jl]

they are talking about the manifold studs not the head bolts.., i wouldnt use ace studs for my head only a few for the manifold if i needed some

[Carl H]

the OP was asking about main studs aka main girdle studs, not manifold bolts.

[rb420sx]

ok thanks coolwhip i will prolly be ordering sum within the next couple days o yea prolly one of those pimp a$$ t-shirts too, but to everybody else thanks for ur input too. yea i broke a couple exhaust studs so i am prolly goin to ace to get those bolts

[black240jl]
