The instructions for these head studs are 90 ft/lb (122 Nm), but I wonder if this is just what the Cosworth block can handle. Because ARP seem to spec 110 ft/lb as a general torque rating for similar sized studs (12mm). |
Interesting, since you are pushing the limits on everything in this engine maybe you can experiment with the torque levels on the ARPs so I dont have to But I think in your case the flatness of the block might be the limiting factor until its machined.
I think its a good plan to sort other things around the car before pushing it further. My first though behind the wheel wasnt that it need even more hp
Would be cool to slap the logger in there and get some acceleration times next year down a runway(100-200 should be proper quick I think), if you attend any slalom events that could be done during lunch break _________________ 1980 924 Turbo

The engine is together with the new head gasket. I got a scare on the first test drive when water was pissing out of what seemed to be the head. But of was just a hose and it trickled along the engine in a misleading fashion.
Second try and it was water tight. They were out of e85 at the station so I had to run on petrol and that results in only wastegate pressure so I couldn't try any high boost. Not sure I get it out anymore before winter, I don't want it sitting with e85 in the system anyway. _________________ /Magnus, Stockholm Sweden
