Head STUDS for the dohc?

[gpchris]

Anybody know where I can get them? Will the ones for the 3x00 work on the dohc?

This will probably answer your question...

I read that but all 60* engines have even length head bolts. Anybody have the length of a stock 3x00 head bolt?

[bszopi]

IIRC (its been awhile), the 3x00s do NOT have the same length head bolts.

[gpchris]

Well I'm not 100% on the 3x00s but I know 2.8s and 3.1s have even length head bolts.

[gpchris]

These are the 3x00 studs, they all look the same length.




Now I just need the length of a stock 3x00 BOLT. Anybody have one laying around?

[gpchris]

god i dont even know anymore... somebody help

The 3.4 DOHC is the only 60V6 that has 16 equal length head bolts. If I wasn't sick, id dig through the shed for my 3.4 DOHC bolts.

[gpchris]

damn. Ben do you think you could find ones that would work if I gave you measurements? I have all 16 dohc head bolts right here. BTW I msnd you like 15 minutes ago..

Dont mean to bust a thread up, but that motor is going to have dirt in it. You should not rebuild a motor outside.

d.o.h.c. Thats a pic I dug up of a 3.1

Looks more like a tear down to me.

Okay back on topic and up top for this one...

Did we ever find out what the length of the bolts are? I'm sure ARP has bolts of that length&thread, just going to have to buy them individually unless by some miracle they allready have a kit with 16 bolts of the same length and thread.

All I've got to do is call ARP back and they will have a headstud kit for us.

what do you need to know, the length of a lq1 headbolt? i may have a few laying around but they are stretched.

my guess is you'd need to measure a new one. lq1 headbolts are torque to yield or some crap like that.

go to any parts store and tell them you need a head bolt set. they are around $20 for a lq1, ask to inspect them, measure one and kindly give them back explaining you have changed your mind.

my guess is a stud would actually have to be a little longer than a stock headbolt. perhaps then a stretched headbolt would be your way to go. next time i get a chance i may measure a stocker if you still need it.
