this is really shitty to hear man.. get that thing figured out. .there has to be a simple explaination to why that happened.
That's exactly what happend. I'm not sure how it happend though. They are the correct studs. I contacted lightningmotorsports.com earlier tonight because they sell individual ARP hardware.
I might just reuse my stock head studs for now until I get some new ARP hardware, but I don't want to shell out another 50$ for a new headgasket. I'd have to change that right once I pull the head studs out?'
I was so incredibly pissed off earlier, but it's not that big of a deal. I'll just finish the minor shit like putting the axles and wheels back on tomorrow and bag the motor to keep shit out.
