warpz0r Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Hi all, from reading though some of the posts i noticed that the head stud holes need to be modified to fit a rb26dett head onto a rb30 block.... is this just drilling and re tapping the holes in the block or is there more that needs to be done? Thanks Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/109288-rb26dett-head-on-rb30/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

N I B Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Not very hard just you want the new head stud threads right and any good machine shop can do it, not an expensive job.

Warpspeed Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Two ways to tackle the head bolts. 1/ Drill and tap the block to take the 12mm GTR bolts, (that can be tricky). 2/ Use a set of 10mm standard RB25DE head bolts. They fit the RB30 block and are the correct length for the GTR head. The GTR head fits straight onto the Rb30 block, and the dowels align the head and head gasket. The bolts only clamp down the head, they don't locate anything. Either 10mm or 12mm bolts work fine.
