so now my nexy option is to buy a 400 dollar set of race wear studs

SlyJti wrote:well i talked to a couple vw engine builders and it seems that vw may have sold the wrong bolts. the bolts i got i think are for an o58 block and i have an 06a block, just new version. but the head studs were lengthened. so im waitin on some measurements in the mean time.

SlyJti wrote:well made my way to summit today in the storm to get the set of arp head studs that they actually had in stock. got home and thought things were gonna go well..... but then after putting the studs in and the gasket and then the head. i was getting happy! then all of a sudden i look at the nuts for the studs and try and put one on. ya the fuckin nuts are bigger then the holes in my head. so i cant get the nuts on the studs now. fuck
