I have to decide which to get for my 2.3l stroker w/ HX40

I have been searching through this forum and have a hard time figuring which set to get.

It is between THESE MAP H11 headstuds and THESE ARP L19

They are almost the same price, will the "dog point" make that big of a difference on the MAP ones?

 

well! I think MAP products are good!!! Today I will buy them a set of MAP High Performance Head Studs!!

 

Please recheck our price sir, now you can get our dogpoint feature for the same price

 

I would get the standard L19's made by ARP. ARP has always been the most popular choice from their regular headstuds to the L19s.

 

Question remains, which is better and not more popular.... and does the dog point make that big of a difference?

 

It assures an accurate and repeatable torque sequence on every stud, there is no downside.

 

I went with the Map H11 head studs. So far so good.

 

Ordering tomorrow.

btw. do these require the same maintenance as the l19? (keep oiled and all that bs?)

 

Yes

 

How exactly do you manage to keep them oiled and what other maintenance do they require?

 

Basically don't open them until you are ready to instal them. Use the supplied ARP lube they include when installing them and put the head on. Torque to spec and you are done.

 

Okay, so not bad at all.

Thank you a lot.

 

I'm running the MAP head studs, quality product just like all MAP products... no problems so far.

 

Thanks i appreciate this thread i think i am going to with MAP. Nate's wonderful customer service+great products! Whats not to love?
