Are you guys using? And how much can I expect them to be? Will Head Studs
Be enough for Compounds or do I need some fancy Stuff. Please educate me.

 

ARP makes an excellent stud. Around the $425 mark for the 12mm variety. Im running compounds with them with o-rings and a marine headgasket (.010) and no problems yet!

 

Cool, I was thinking ARP. How much do you think it would cost for the marine gasket and haveing the O-ring thing done?

 

I just bought a marine gasket from cummins, I think it was around $87. O-rings seem to be around $300, depending on the shop, to do the machine work and install the wire.

 

ARP, anywhere from $400-425

They will be fine with O-rings for twins...if you don't o ring it, keep it under 55psi!

EDIT!! My computer was acting up, so somebody beat me to it

 

BigBully also you will have to clearance the valve covers with the ARP studs. Not a big deal, just don't forget to check the clearance.....

 

Does anybody have the ARP part number? Can anyone recommend a good machine shop near Raleigh for the o-rings?

 

I thought on the 94 to 98s they didnt need clearanced? Anyway as for the part number I have it in the house but not out here in the shop. I just looked on ARP's website and got the number

 

I just got a newer set or ARP studs from Doug over at PDW and it has you machine the rocker arm pedestal, I'm not completely sure if that is the reason or not.

 

That sure adds to the price of a stud install!!

 

not if you know someone with a bpt. miller P/N 247-4203. see olee poole for your o ring needs. http://powerbypoole.com/home.html

 

Where did you buy them for that much?

 

I bought mine from Rip @ Source Automotive a while back when he was running a sale. $400 Still sitting on the shelf

Ok so what is the head gasket should i use? I called cummins and they say there is only one head gasket for this engine and I told them you guys say there is a marine head gasket. I seen there is three different part numbers for stock to 0.20 over But Which one should I use? I seen one guy say he used a 0.10 over But i was wondering why the 0.10 over?
