Cylinder head studs 8mm or 10mm 4 or 6 per cyl.?

Post by Jerry D »

Very soon I will start assembling my 2332 EFI turbo motor. The new type 1 case has been machined for 94's and case savers installed for 8mm studs.
I hear people talking about only using 10mm studs when running a turbo.
I was wondering if anyone uses 6 8mm studs per cylinder? If so who does this kind of work?
I'm just trying to cover all the bases before I start building this thing.
Thanks,
Jerry

Don't believe the hype.
All you need is the stock original german 8mm head studs in the stock configuration.
Unless you are making 800hp then you really don't need to worry about head studs. The stud will pull out of the case before it will break if you are using original studs not bugpack repros.
I am running 20+ psi boost and the heads are seated perfectly and never move, no leaks even after massive abuse.
