Hey guys
Seeings as few people have asked, I can put together a group buy for these ARP head studs if enough interest.
Same as these
http://306oc.co.uk/forum/thread-13440.html
Direct fit for XUD.
Price is £200 per set posted, I don't mind posting outside the uk at cost.
Lead time will be a few weeks (could be upto 4/5), and I would need full payment from everyone (but not until we've got enough people) Sounds like a pain in the ass, but there we go.
Will need 6 names to go ahead.

Yea you can! Get on!
hi people I am going to do the td04 conversion to my xud would it be a good idea to get these?? and what would be the improvement thanks.
Having these studs will prevent the head lifting on high boost motors. Standard bolts will stretch causing head gasket issues where as these won't
Shame, it looks like there wasn't enough interest the one time I have money for something like this lol.
Reviving this thread, as I know one or two may be still interested
If 4 people are interested we can still do them for £200 all in a set
Lead time is approx. 4 weeks
Cut off date for ordering will be within 2 weeks - Around October 7th

If your pushing a TD04 then potentially yes
Tom, Do these studs need stock spacers? or do they fit with no spacers at all?
The studs i have need half spacers which i made custom, which is fine for all but 2 of the bolts in my 16v, where i need studs that use no spacers at all to clear the camchain...just wondered if these were flush with no spacer, or if they need the stock spacer...
Let me know...
They take standard spacers + arp washer - so are same length as standard bolts
Here is a pic of them installed on my car

Im tempted but funds aint great. Is the 7th the lastest to let you know by? Also how many people do you need for the order to go ahead

If 4 people are interested we can do these for 200 a set
What are the specs on these man? If length is right, might be able to adapt the tud for them....
7th is realistically the cutoff, as otherwise we'd be looking at another 4 week lead time on top, and it drags on into the far distance and people get fed up ..etc
samass, what length do you need? As you can see in the pic, they're pretty much bang on replacement for the length of an xud bolt.
185mm irrc, I'll have to double check that tho
And also have to see how much meat I've got to play with in the block/head as the standard ones are are only Pussy thin ones
Stock xuds use 145-148mm bolts.
When are you putting an order thanks

7th October 2013
Do HDis use the same bolts?
JP
I actually have no idea tbh, I'm guessing not though
bump on this
Edit I think we have potentially 2 people interested - correct me if I'm wrong
1. londondan86
2. Frosty
Just a couple more?
Order date is in a week
Also tempted. These can obviously be used more than once? And how do you fit these compared to standard?
Quite likely, ill be honest ive not persoanlly tried on an 8v head, but my studs from my XUD are the same ones im using in my 16v motor...except for to with camchain issues, but obviously thats not an issue on the 8v, sure someone with a hdi head bolt kicking about can confirm, but id be suprised if there different...
