Head stud kit for TB42

[Echotree]

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can source a head stud kit for a TB42? I am told ARP is the way to go, but cannot find the TB42 as an engine type on their website...

Thanks!

depends on where you are ?...All Head Services have them , plus everything else in relation to heads

cant say ive ever been able to find a kit, but might be possible to get the right size/length stud if you talk to one of their distributors, i know the thread is m10x1.5 and from memory the bolts are about 130mm long so you would need 140-150mm studs surely they would have something that would work

Roodogs sells them... there are plenty of others that also sell them.

Any particular reason you are wanting to use studs?

its just terminology mate....they are bolts

i though he was meaning head studs instead of regular bolts, common to use studs and nuts insted of bolts in high performance applications

This is what I was getting at. It have to be a decent build if it required head studs though. Nothing internally would be standard possibly the crank but yeah.

thinking more about it now, i have doubt you would be able to fit a head with the engine in place using studs on a tb42. to the op whats your aims for the motor? im running 9-10psi(should be 4 but have major boost creep) on a genuine gasket with no problems
