Stretch to Yield , US or Import , Skeptics No Skeptics , Wanting info for you customers or just trying to kill the hype on these bolts for thos who dont have ARP $ , Head Torquing Procedure , Valve Lash ......
What ever your reasoning may be 1 thing stands , My head gasket isn't blowed i may only run 43 PSI WOT but they hold and it may be placebo effect but at WOT things just sound and feel more stable to me personally.
If anyone like me has ran a stock charger to 50 PSI you know that it dont sound like a turbo any more , it sounds more like a vacuum cleaner. when i went to a Super B it didnt sound like a vacuum cleaner anymore but it did sound like a crapton of air was flowing
Its an added since of security for me. I would recommend them and keep in mind ARP's Blow too

Don't ridicule me if you can't answer my questions. I asked a valid question that a customer asked me. Is there a problem with that? I'm not going to lie to him and say sure they'll hold fine! And then you get trust me they'll hold, I run my turbo to 43psi of boost. Ok, that's great, but each engine is different and seen different maintenance and treatment. What works on one may not work on another.

Chad the order does not have to do with the bolts. It has to do with torquing the head down proper so that it gets an even flat seal with even pressure across the entire head. Weston is right, you should have used the factory pattern for replacing them.

So, how do these bolts hold more load compared to a stock head bolt? These bolts are still a stretch to yield bolt. Does anyone have any load test sheet analysis or anything? Just curious as this could be an option for customers, but I'm very leary about them. Will Tony stand behind labor claims if these bolts are installed on a big boost engine and the head gasket still blows? Again, I'm asking because these could be a great product. But it has me worried since these are still stretch to yield.
