Ok everybody, heres the deal.

I'm tired of ARP raping my *** for head studs. Have you ever noticed without paaying an assload for them, why they are so hard to find, and expensive at that.

Here for starters in the US with our infinite wisdom, we don't prefer the metric system. Lucky us. There for bolt manufactuers few and far between supply these, and charge alot for them. As if they are really that dumb to read metric ruler in mm instead of Inches.

Anyway, i have started my own little revolution on them. Through tons, and i do mean tons of research and searching, i am in a situation that i've been waiting for. I have found a manufacturer. My first project will be The D16z6 Engine.

What i'm working with here. Head Studs. For approximately $85. Made on Factory specifications for the engine. Honda's bolts are 140,00PSI good. The Studs that i will be offering are 150,000 good.


This is the start of an alternative. The studs will be better than standard Head bolts. Made with the same 10.9 metric grade steel. Heat and pressure tested/treated. Cheapest are about $95.00 for OEM bolts. When i hit these, it will be a much more affordable means to replace studs.

Tell me what you guys think.
