If anyone is interested in these let me know, i will have pricing later on in the week, they're hardened and have been torque tested, a lot tougher than the standards, the cost was roughly a lil cheaper than new ones from Holden, but will confirm that later in the week.

Are these for the RB30et head?? Cause Im in the middle of my turbo conversion and am putting a RB30et head onto my RB30 bottom end, so will I be able to use my existing head bolts or will these be a better option? Also how much??

ur leaving an na bottom end to run a turbo???

Yes I am! DO you have a problem with that?? Incase you didnt know already the bottom ends are exactly the same. I am just changing the internals. Putting better pistons and having it balanced and blue printed etc.... PLease stick to the thread 251NFL, thanks, If you dont know the answer to my question please dont bother replying. Cheers

251NFL - dont question him just because his wing is bigger than yours!

wing?? WTF? wat wing? Losers!

The studs are made from hardened and tempered - high tesile steel, Chemically blackened, they're $240 a set That doesn't include nuts, some people have opted for ARP nuts which cost an arm and a leg, they do look flashy though. Others have used off the shelf from your local bolt place high tensile bolts and hardened washers, with no troubles at all and got the whole set for the cost of one ARP nut. I can package the whole lot if need be, I can have pics of these later in the week, atm we have these for RB30's and some Ford 6 cyl.

Wat are the benefits of these head studs?? How much difference would they make compared to that of the original head studs?? thanks mate

they will be reusable? yes?

These head bolts are a lot stronger than the standards, we've tested them on quite a few motors. They wont break, it's just a little insurance when putting your motor back together. Yeah you can re use them. I'll get pics up later in the week, they're far superior to the standards.

So they are studs not bolts, yeah? As a comparision people, you can get ARP studs (include nuts and washers) for about $350 trade. Slight modification will be required to the rocker cover as the studs stick out further than the standard bolts. And yes they are reusable.

What maximum psi test have they had, If so what rating are they capable of

They are studs, I can supply them with nuts and washers for $255.00 they are re-usable although I would change the nuts after each re-build, the cost of nuts and washers is $15 I'm only supplying them for convenience. We've got a set in a RB30et running 20psi with a T45, with no problems. No need to modify the rocker cover for these.

Also how much?? if you know that there is no difference between the bottom ends bar internals and oil pump how come u havn't picked up that the heads are all the same also keeping in mind that the different cams aren't part of the head cheers
