There is no direct thread on this part. The Ralliart Head Bolts / Studs. Just curious if anyone is running these? They are stock replacement bolts, so maybe the 1 x 1 method would suffice for installing these? I know they are expensive, but I'd save a lot of money and time not having to pull the head. I refuse to install ARP head studs with the 1 x 1 method. My tuner also does not do it the "quick" way. He pulls the head and does it the right way. Also, how much pressure can these bolts handle over stock? Any input would be nice.

 

what make's you think that doing the ralliart studs 1by1 that you will be better of thandoing it with the ARP.

as soon as you lossen them there is less tension on the head.
Some people have had luck with the 1by1 but IMHO if you gonna do head studs.
DO IT right the first time .

Wise old saying......buy cheap buy twice.

Pull the head or leave the stocks one's alone

goodluck

 

Yeah, I totally agree with you, but the main thing is this. The stock bolts and the ralliart bolts are torque-to-yield bolts. The ARP studs are different. And I've read numerous times that after installing the ARP studs you have to retorque them 2 or 3 times. Well, the problem comes along with the 1 x 1 because of improper installation / torquing, etc, not because the head starts to be relieved of tension. There are plenty of nearby bolts holding it down. All Im' saying is that if you install the ralliart bolts, you may be able to get away with the 1 x 1 method because they are not studs. They do not need to be retorqued, etc. I do not think at least.
