Long studding 200 block

[xpackboy]

Pete mason did mine , took it to joe at gsmotosport in Essex and he had it sorted for me top job

[M K]

My power is only 550ish but I had 10 studs as one of my corner threads was stripped and I didn't want a helicoil,

Can't remember cost but it was a bit cheaper than 440,

I had the same problem as Dave but i wasn't so lucky, paid for palleted service with them supplying pallet and this turns up

[Dave]

Not god Chris, which company was that?

[Davecos 4x4]

that's bad Chris.

should never of been sent out so that could happen.

[Davecos 4x4]

why did they not just take the studs out.

That's what I was thinking

Can't remember exactly some company from the midlands

why did they not just take the studs out.

They don't come out, well they do but it was supposed to be strapped down on a pallet in a hardened box but instead they missed out the pallet and the rest i don't want to think about - was compensated for a new set of studs though

[Davecos 4x4]

they just could of not fitted them in the block Chris.

they only screw in.

Load of bollocks they have o rings on and you have to put some sealer on them to

[xpackboy]

Only tell you what I was told , when I phone them I know the have a o ring , the said they bonded the in ? Joe who built says he bonds his in that's why I asked them

Hi
just to put the record straight, the studs where not bonded in, the confusion is that a small amount of loctite on the lower thread of the stud was applied ( this was for rally spec ,as if you had to take head off quick in a rally what you did not was the stud undoing instead of he nut ) the o ring was fitted to the stud and silicon sealant under the shoulder as a back up.

for road engines you are better going with arp lube on lower threads than loctite.
