the arp ones i got from v8 tuner came as a set for the 14 bolt heads,so i just used the 10 i needed,and ended up with 8 short ones left,if you do order any gav get them to make sure the arp lube is in with them as this helps getting the correct torque rather than using oil

the only place you will get them will be blackbox solutions or buy any other faultmate and see if the would transfer them over onto just one

nearly forgot if you do go for arp studs leave the bolts out at the bulkhead end,it,s tight squeezing the heads in and saves damaging the head surface,they can be screwed in when the head is in place,an allan key is needed to screw the studs in but only hand tight,as they will tighten up fully...

is the bottom end crossbolted on the new one gav,as im sure the old 14 bolt heads weren,t crossbolted,but if you do use it i have a spare set of small apr bolts and nuts but only torque them up to around 20/25 nm that way like john said it won,t ruin the head gaskets,if you want the eight...

well ive serviced the auto box with a new filter,and everything seems ok upto now,the oil i took out was nice and clean and a lovelly cherry colour but it seems more came out than what ive put back in:confused:,done the transfer box aswell and that was nice and clean aswell,so fingers crossed it...

the torque convertor was locked in place with using your method gav,when i first removed the engine,last week,and has driven fine as when i put it back together i did the does it rotate freely and move slightly back and forth before i fitted the driveplate to convertor bolts,it,s only since i...
