Reason for the change is because I'm enjoying racing so much and I /we want something better suited and stronger than what a zf can offer, that and because of the ongoing limpmode issue its just p1ssing me off lol. Can't wait for our first hitout in abit over a month id say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 9m 10d Gender: Male Posted 11/11/12 04:09 PM Share Posted 11/11/12 04:09 PM At least someone listens to what I have to say I find that ARP bolt washers are way too thin diameter wise. A 12mm ARP head bolt washer has a OD of 19mm. I dont know if this is the type of washer you used. I have not played with a B or F series heads but on performance heads I have done, if there is room I like to machine the flats where the bolt washer sits on as large as possible. I then get the biggest diameter washers laser cut to fit in that space. Also cut it out of pretty thick steel. On the heads I have done I have usually been able to get a 25mm diameter, 8mm thick washer to tighten down the head. What this does is just spread the force of the top of the bolt more evenly over the head. Every little bit helps Now you may not think this does much but I have done this with a head that was a little soft and the ARP washers would sink into the head but with the big washers it just solved the problem. Didnt sink at all. Your laser cutter should have the higher grade steel that they usually stock but you dont need ground washer, just clean up the washers with a die grinder when they come back from the laser cutters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had this issue last time and had to fit a set so hopefully it minimilises future damage. It's not far off coping a good hiding so well soon find out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
