thtas what i have a deep wall 12 pt socket 3/8 14mm.
doesnt fit on all of the cams get in the way |
i need to tap my block as the studs arent going all the way in but i dont know what thread size is on the arp head studs i bought does anyone know what tapping tool i need please.
|
Use one of your old head bolts grind 3 or 4 vertical slots in the bolt (Dremel tool cutter works well) and clean off any burrs. It can work better than a tap because: It is softer and wont remove too much metal; aswell as not being tapered it will clean out to the bottom of the hole.

Done a bit of research Andy, It seems the extra stud length is not unusual for some reason. The threads are 12mm x 1.25 pitch.

Are you using molly?????
This seems to be more rough for you than it should be. |

thats a vsv. if it was near the back of the engine, its for the egr and if near the front, for the fpr
stole this from cygnusx1's tsrm page. from this pic you can see there are two vsv's, and iirc they are different so dont get them confused. http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/TechTi.../vacuum_2l.gif |
