ARP head bolt? is it worth the $$

[muaythailuke]

Hi guys, Im just about to piece together my engine after putting forgies etc in it and i was just wonering what your opinion is on the ARP head bolts.

Are they worth the $260 your paying for them?

Has anybody had trouble or anything with standard ones?

In just doing the rebuild should I replace them with new ones, whether they be standard or ARP?

$260.00 for what a GTR , if so where do you get them for that much , that's cheap.

It is simlpe as this ,why risk using cheaper studs and risk all the other work you have done . do not re use your old bolts!

Oh sorry nahh its for a RB25, yeah I thought $260 was a resonable price thats without shipping especially seeing autobarns price was $350 hehe bloody hell they are rip off for some things.

Ouch that cant be good, ive never heard of uprated bolts for these maybe I should by some new OME of these as well.

Is that price for bolts or studs and nuts? If it's studs it's worth every cent of it, the extra clamping force is cheap insurance.
