Head studs

Post by mbrallying »

Hi guys

Can you please tell me if its worth using arp head studs for my sohc 2l rebuild. And if so where to get them, if they make them. I'm not having any luck finding them so far.

Its a fairly mild rally engine, so no ball tearing power but reliability has to be absolute.

Appreciate your thoughts.

No it hasn't actually been finished yet, the engine will be going into my galant coupe first and then straight into the starion when I finish it.

I do know the guy with the red one though, have competed against him a couple of times. Really nice car!
