Hey g2landyman,

Just wondering where did you get a 300tdi stud kit from? Do you have a part number for this kit? And also if you don't mind me asking how much did it cost?

Thanks Geeman!!

Any time you use ARP studs, make sure to get ARP lube as well. They developed it to give the most reliable torque readings. Part #100-9908.

Did you have to machine anything on the head to get the stud kit to work? Also what torque settings did you use? (same as LR bolt settings).

cheers Geeman

Hi Studs fitted with out any mods to head, but I holesawed two hole's in panel above last 2 head studs (rear) for ease off installation, use grommets too blank panel, you use allen key to install studs,
Torque = 70 ft lb with arp lube for 10mm studs 12mm =90ft lb if using 30w oil to lube 10mm stud =75-80 ft lb 12mm = 120 ft lb ( info from ARP) I use 30w all felt very good.
If you want too do this I can email you copy of invoice and give you email address of sales person too regards G2.

Stud kits has been my preferance when building engine's for myself and others

P.s torque values for head, studs installed hand tight, the 12mmx 6.115" studs where seated and the backed off 1/8 inch (ARP spec) as they are made for different engine and are longest available.
All went well I am very happy
