Dseries Main Studs
 

I am looking for a company that makes a quality set of main studs for singlecams. I had talked with a Rep from ARP about making a custom set, but no replies have been heard. thnx guys :X

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

Why? Stock ones have been used to over 400 whp. And what's the piston-to-wall clearance on the engine in your picture? :1

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

wow !

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

1/4"... lol. That ---- looks worse than mine did!

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

seriously, spend your money on getting that ---- fixed first.

Holy Molar!

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

Damn its a lot, talk about piston slap >:D.

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

yea i've been chatting with the machine shop about that one! they had all the internals at the time of boring >:(

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

what did they say the clearance is?

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

I would go back to the machine shop and start throwing stuff

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

Yeah im sure that block fits threw the front window >:D

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

the machine shop has no actual specs on record nor would say their at fault but i had hold them bore .25mm over from standard because the pistons were .25 over, as you all can see it like throwin a sausage down the hallway vs. cyl. wall to piston clearance. I have not had time to pull the head and throw the bore caliper down it. If I do throw the block through the front window I'l be sure to get it on vid! :y

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

If you're serious use a brick and don't record it. That's the way to roll.

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

loks like tapered pistons for tard reascoinbg.. butwhy std pistonsit would work fineee

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

Most pistons i've seen are .020 over, perhaps they bored for .025 for a 20 over piston.? Either way, they had the pistons so they should have checked

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

his pistons are .010 over standard bore. which means they are .25mm over standard bore.

They bored the block .020 while using .010 pistons.

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

i recommend that he doesnt use that shop anymore. :P

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

I dont plan on using that machine shop with future business. Back to subject though, I need to find main studs for that little 1.6 anyone have any links??? thnx :6

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

No

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

use B-series ones they have too be stronger, Cut/weld/washers too fit :S

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

Somebody's been drinking.

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

yea i dunno about all that lol???? :8

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

nobody makes them. why are you still asking ?!?!?

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

because I dont feel like torqing the factory mains for a Third time and you can't even buy the factory bolts from the dealership!

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

yes you can. :1

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

Sweet! Well the dealship here is pretty lame then, O0 they told me your best bet is get some from the boneyard! I laughed and walked out.

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

seriously man what are you going to do about that block? that is not going to work so hot. .008 is about the most i've seen for an automotive application.

On this continental 0-200 I put together at school I had about .018 piston to wall clearance, but were talking about a 6:1 C/R 100hp 200 cubic inch engine, nothing high performance about that.

Re: Dseries Main Studs
 

i'm going to be pulling it apart this weekend and finding actual specs, all i know is when it was assembled the piston to cylinder clearance looked pretty damn close, i dont know if thats from all the shiny parts or what, but that thing sounded like a diesel running and didnt quiet after warming up. i didnt like it so i pulled it back out.
