ARP Head bolts, is there an alternative?

Recommended Posts

Hello,

Currently going through the process of a partial rebuild on my spare vr6 block, and am planning on going non stretch head bolts with plans of boost later this year, looking into arp and found these,

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-VR6-12pt-Undercut-ARP-Head-Stud-Kit-/331085395636?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4d163a36b4

seems very expensive to me, is there an alternative?

I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that they're 12.9 high tensile so maybe some high tensile ones would do the job?

Is there anything I'm missing here?

 

Cheers

It's not to do with the tensile strength with ARP, it's that they're non stretch bolts hence they don't need to be replaced.

 

Any other head bolt you come across will be stretch.

 

That is pretty expensive that link though - drop me an email and I'll see what price I can get them for.

 

I keep ARP parts in but not VR6 yet
