Can someone please tell me if seans head studs are in the right way round?? If they are steveboyslims im sure the machined end goes in the block and locates at the bottom?? Ive got them and sure they look upside down??

seanr28 · 29-08-2007, 21:58

MMM, iyes they are Steveboyslim head studs, if they are the wrong way around I'mm gonna be pissed, as I spoke to Steve before fitting them and he said that this was correct........

If they are upside down, what difference is it likley to make??

DragXE · 29-08-2007, 22:04

I have no idea of any probs that might occur but im sure the machined end goes in the block and locates, but I hope im wrong?? PM steve to make sure.

DragXE · 29-08-2007, 22:19

Ive just been out to the garage to get the instructions that came with my stud kit and I quote "The studs should be wound in each hole (recessed end) until you feel them locate at the bottom of the hole".

seanr28 · 30-08-2007, 05:08

Oh bollox, I never got any instruction with mine, so I spoke to Steve, and thats how he advised me!!!

Rick Draper · 30-08-2007, 10:49

Er i have just looked and it looks to me like they are upside down.

seanr28 · 30-08-2007, 12:31

OK, is it gonna make any difference then?? surely this is only to stop them being pulled down to far??? Really dont fancy taking the head off again, as its pretty much ready to start!

Alright Mate. New to migweb and still trying to find my way around. I in the process of my first project (5dr Astra 2.016v Astra Sport) which i am planning to put the c20let into i have already began the process of stripping it all down by removing the front wings bonnet,bumper,headlight etc . I was just wondering if you could give me some advise as to weather the front end requires seam welding before fitting the engine please. Quality work as well mate i only hope i will be able to reach the standards you have achieved.

seanr28 · 11-11-2007, 20:44

right, finally go the front legs back onon and engine running.

Arches have been fully tetrasealed

Just need to replace the brake lines now.

also removed the head and fitted the head studs in the correct way round

seanr28 · 06-12-2007, 19:02

SimonP · 07-12-2007, 01:08

Lovely work there. Although the yellow / blue colour combo just doesn't work for me. Cracking job though.

seanr28 · 07-12-2007, 10:58

Should get the brakes finished this weekend, just need to make new front brake lines!

seanr28 · 07-12-2007, 12:00

seanr28 · 16-12-2007, 19:43
