Oh, i recalled someone on the alfa digest measuring it up and not having clearance on the 105 Zagato? Happy to be proven wrong... now would a 2.5 fit?

Yes. They fit under everything other than a GT Junior Zagato and 105 series spiders.

These are 10mm studs for gods sake....How are they going to break something?? Because they are stainless ???? Relaxation of what?? the bolts,the turbo flange?? never..and they DONT sieze!! Thats the good part of using stainless...forget expansion rates with these studs..they WORK!!! 316 Stainless C...

Mats,New bolts are not available here anymore.. I then looked for something better AND available..ARP made for a 383 Chrysler. Ok,So now ARP make for the Alfa rod-great-scrap the Chrysler idea then.. :? In the days when these were not available,Chrysler ARP`s were King for my Alfa.. Is the part num...

I've got to call the supplier i've been getting stuff through lately on monday, so i'll price them up for you.

And as for what I engineer, its the defence end of the world, so if i fuck up, people die.

Put your nuts on the line with about 200 custom pistons and about 60 custom rod combinations in 14 different engines over 2 years and then have someone tell you that you are full of shit. You're new here; maybe take it easy a bit there Tonto! While I think of it, 14 engines in 2 years, and not with...

Great, so now that the professor has the personal-insult bug out of his arse, maybe we can get back to talking turkey. My reference to the side-ways deflection of the rod is exactly that. A reference to dispel the notion that with the exotic rod we are talking about some super-strong, stiff, ridged...

What do you think of this ? Its in Oz too :o http://www.wbo2.com/2A0/default.htm also http://www.techedge.com.au/vehicle/wbo2/default.htm Like megasquirt for Wideband O2 senors + lots more functions, might make things alot easier for tuning (if you can solder it all together) :lol: I know of a coup...

Not available here,cost a load,and the ht bolts work as good.. Ive never had one fail on any of the conversions I have done.. Ben,I agree with you on the splined jobs though.. Z,POst a pic of your spline bolt on your car,will ya?? Sorry Barry, I forgot about the supply issue you've got to work arou...

Well Chief, Have a conversation with the folks who manufacture the stuff and ask them what applications they build it for... Go and tell them that they are full of shit! Next, build a few things or be a part of a dozen or so builds or just somehow put your balls where your big mouth is and be ready...

:D While Im on a roll here,the stud girdle is a one piece affair,it gets pushed back through the assy. after removing the 2x 8mm hold bolts.The disc is then changed and the stud girdle is pushed back into the hub assy and the hold bolts tightened .. :arrow: Welding on hardened bolts always makes me...

It is, as Mats says, primarily a problem with turbo cars, generally comes from being too small on the turbine housing and restricting the exhaust flow

Freezing helps with the blocks to stress-release them... I'm iffy on the rods though... One thing to understand with the rods is that you DON'T want them strong and ridged... Place a Carrillo in the vice at the big-end and just pull on it by hand on the small-end... You will be amazed! Even when ju...

Basically, in a 4 stroke engine a EGT will tell you if you're running the risk of burnign an exhaust valve.. In 2 stroke bikes, with ram air and all sorts of funky stuff going on (try different ignition maps for each gear!) you use them for leaning jetting out till you get close to holing a piston (...
