You may well be stuck with an old method, that had to be done before multilayer gaskets where available, yes it does work, but does it need to be done now - you cant prove it otherways because you long stud everything as they did in the old days.
good on you.
markk im not saying my way or no way im just saying that the reasons for not long studding are utter shit!!!
Iknow i come across like that sometimes but its because you get so many idiots saying things like phil above^^^,when realy i should ignore them people and just get on with it but i like to try and put my point across...
The facts are these blocks havnt changed for years and this old method is still being used because it works and there isnt a better route..
Do i think you still need to long stud yes i do is the answer specially if your going for 400bhp plus..
If people want to do it with out then thats up to them but theres no point in telling people that are spending alot of money on their engine build that its pointless because thats not right specially if they are getting nonsense for a reason....
Its funny how no one answers my very reasonable questions,like if its damaging to a low power yb how come its fine on rods for example???or if its true it distorts the bores how comes it doesnt twist the main caps???
The only reason these qs arnt answered is because they either dont know or they know theyre talking shit...
any way i now feel better saying all that and if im not mistaken did you just sort of agree with me???if so nice one that does make a change!!!Lol
cheers danny
