I have a sierra cossy and need to know the torque settings when using the A.R.P. stud and nut kit. Can anyone help me? [/b]

 

Depends how soon you want a cracked block

Don't use 'em mate. Either long stud (if a 200 block) or standard head bolts.

 

doh!

good advice though mate! there not worth it as instead of the bolts being aloud to stretch its guna wana give somewhere and thats guna be your block!

 

Std headbolts all the way

 

whats the difference between a long stud and a standard head bolt do you still use a nut w ith the long stud type or is it just a longer/modified bolt

 

You use a nut with the long studs. Also beware there are some cheap long studs out there...

 

The threads inside the block taper slightly towards the bottom. When fitting a stud and nut kit, the block thread should be taped out straight, then the stud fitted and torqued. Then when fitting the head, torque the nut down to specification. Doesn't come cheap.

That’s what’s been done on my Escort Cossie.
