As posted in a brievious thread I have a leaking head gasket and will be repairing it. I was just wondering if there is a head stud kit or NOZ kit available for an EF XR6 so I may be able to bolt noz on?

What is NOZ?

Dellboy999 · 12-09-2003, 15:20

By NOZ - I guess you mean NO2, Nitrous Oxide.

TTNOS8 · 12-09-2003, 15:46

Ohh, ok then.

Like in the fast and the furious 1 & 2.

I guess you mean n2o.

Yes you can put it on your anything at all.

As long as you have a checkerplate floor!

Yes I am aware I can bolt "nitros" onto anything, but I was wondering whether there was an high compression stud kit or the likes available for the EF 6 to accomodate for higher performance engines?

Why? so you dont melt the welds on the manifold? HAHAHAH

LOL
Incase you are wondering: head studs allow a higher torque setting to hold the head down, then normal head bolts.

Yeah I know that mate, just havin a bit of fun.

There arent any aftermarket studs I have heard of, but I have heard of people using the AU head bolts as they do not weaken as much as the earlier ones were reknowned for.

First place I would check would be ARP, see if they have any.

Good luck with your search

There would be stud kits available for the EF6. As above, probably try ARP and the likes.

I don't really know why you would want the stud kit for more tension though?

Nitrous dosen't neccessarily require more tension on the head studs, I'd be looking at spending my $$ on other more worthy safety aspects in the engine.

Just my 2.2cents worth inc GST

I would also look at the insurance side of things as well as NOS being illegal in many states, including mine god dam it
