yeah remembered that thread and just read through again..
iv met and know a lot of people that worked at and for mountune and i can tell you id rather trust their view on long studding over karl norris as they had lots of time and money learning the effects of long studding..
id only ever use mountune long stud and nut kits as iv used others and had very bad consequences..iv not only used many on my own engines but just about every one iv been involved in building wich is alot and never had a problem apart from when we used a different kind of stud and nut kit...
the only person iv heard with this view is karl or any one he has brain washed,im not saying he isnt a good engineer but on this occassion i think he is wrong and would deffo beleive what iv seen first hand and what a company like montune had discovered time and time again....at the end of the day its your engine so do what you feel best..
