SleeperZ Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Anyone seen this before? One nut of 14 was missing threads. Things were going smoothly swapping heads today (too smooth). Head and manifolds lifted off with only one thing I forgot to disconnect -- the turbo drain line, oops, twisted the crap out of that. The block cleaned up nicely, the studs all went on well, copper-coated the head gasket, new head dropped on snugly. Couldn't tighten anything down, I needed a deep-well 12mm socket, and all I had was the shallow. It should be OK sitting until I get the tool and a replacement nut. I guess I'll contact ARP. For $140, I expect 14 nuts with threads, not 13. Anyone dealt with this before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I have heard of it happening but not on arp stud kit. You might want to contact who you bought them from and the might give a replacement nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 I called ARP, they are sending me another nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Glad I could help. If you're impatient (like me) you could try threading it yourself, but it would be a pain to get just right, especially on a nut thats pretty much a blank. But hey you're getting another one, so if you screw up the threading then you can just wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
