Here's the scenario:

I'm getting my '95 KA24DE engine rebuilt and bought a set of new (although not from a dealer) ARP head/main stud kit that was supposed to be for a '91-'98 KA24DE. My shop called me the other day and told me that the studs did not fit at all, and they clearly were not for the engine (too long...). So I needed to order, brand new, a set of ARP head/main studs from phat ka-t (which has great service, BTW).

Anyway, now I'm stuck with a set of ARP head/main studs for God knows what engine, and unless I know what engine they are for, I cannot sell them and I am out $300, putting me even FURTHER into debt...

I don't have my digital camera on me right now, but I will have it in a few days so I can take pictures of all the pieces...right now all that I can give is measurements...

These could or could not be for a Nissan engine, but most likely they are. I know they are ARP because all the parts are stamped ARP. Anyway, the reason I'm asking for your guys' help is to hopefully find someone who has ARP head/main studs for the KA24E (not sure if ARP even makes some for the KA-E) or the KA24DE ALTIMA engine (I know that for the SR20DET, the FWD SR20DET ARPs do not fit the RWD SR20DET), who has not yet installed them and can give me some measurements...

For the bag labeled head studs, there are 10 studs, 10 nuts (10 x 1.25), and 10 tapered washers. The studs are 130 mm (13 cm) long, and the threads are 10 mm in diameter. Both ends (obviously) are threaded...one end is 10 x 1.25 and has ~23.5 mm of thread, the other end looks to be 10 x 1.50 and has ~23.5 mm of thread. The bag also says"AM5.1001LB," But it could be "AM5.1004LB"

Now for the main studs: Again, the nuts are stamped as M10 x 1.25, meaning the threaded part of the studs are 10 mm in diameter.

There are 7 studs that are ~109 mm long. For these studs, one end has 23.5 mm of 10 x 1.25 thread, and the other end has ~36 mm of what looks to be 10 x 1.50 thread. The other 3 main studs are the same in all respects to the head studs. There are 10 nuts and 10 more tapered washers.

Anyway, I doubt I'll get any help because it's hard to visualize my measurements without pictures, but I'll get pics up soon...and am gonna call ARP tomorrow to see if they can help out...

Thanks in advance.
