Long studding 200 block

[mark shead]

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.

Mr xpower . ( xmountune )

And the change of TQ setting due to the diff friction changing from loctite to ARP lube locking the studs in place.

What torque setting should the Studs be set at if using loctite

Thanks for that piro , it's me getting mixed up , I know joe at gs Motosport , said you worked at mountune, building some great duratec , didn't think you built cossy engines ?

Rob Gravett for one was defo happy that he makes YB engines.
