Yeah, I had the tech look up the opel kit, and he said it wasn't the right length or thread pitch, as well as its only a 16 piece kit.... the ecotec has 20 main bolts

I'm currently ordering right now, it sucks, but at least I know 100% they'll work.

 

i'm gonna check when i get home.............**** that i'm calling my wife and have her check.

DAMN i just got off the phone with my wife there the damn opel vauxhall ones. you were right cam.
on a side note she said my pistons just arrived right now.

 

thats what was used on mine..gm main bolts and arp head studs..

 

this really blows. i wanted ARP quality for the main studs!!!!!

 

as stated by a really smart friend of mine "thats what happens when u dont have the support of aftermarket"

 

PWN3D!!!

Don't doubt the almighty Blown 4-banger!!!





P.S. I'm joking, I'm not really that much of a dick

**** that! Get custom **** made! If the aftermarket won't support you, then **** 'em! No one makes aftermarket rods for the 2.0L, yet I have a set of 2.0L billet rods in my room

 

lawl i wasnt speaking for me...i was quoting someone thats all

 

Technically pauter does

so does crower now long as u have the PN

 

arp doesn't have a number listed for the 2.0. hence why you call them and give them exact specs. if they don't have it, they will make it.

 

But how much extra do they charge?

 

They didn't even offer to make new ones. It doesn't matter, I don't have time to wait for custom studs. I'm just using GM main bolts, maybe I'll buy like 5 sets, so it will be like having reusable studs... just WAY more expensive

 

whew got lucky, i found a dealership that had the studs in, now i can send them off to be cryod with the rest of the motor. thanks for the parts numbers cam.

 

Glad to help, and glad to see your having your **** cryo'd. Thats what smart people do. I'm having the entire drivetrain frozen, transmission included

 

yessir cryoed ftw. i gotta wait on the tranny till i can find a competent shop to tear it apart and be able to put it back together right.

 

anyone wanna explain to the n00b how freezing your internals would help

 

it's supposed to realign the molecules of the metal so that it is stronger without being brittle.

there sight will explain a bit more.

 

Pauter actually makes two different sets of billet rods for the LSJ, both available just by phoning. One is for normal people and the HD set is for the abnormal people. Guess which ones I bought.

 

i'm gonna have to say your a bit on the abnormal side rod. i mean the rods that is

 

My wife likes my abnormal rod

Back to the main bolts, we went with custom main studs to ensure even stronger clamping power.

 

zing.

 

I thought you were buying the suds off David?

 

Why buy used studs, when I can get new ones for free

 

Very true.

Doesn't Eagle make studs for us?

 

if u look back like a year agao, i discussed the main bolts issue, and how i was fucked too, i posted the part numbers needed to make a kit, but apparently no one listens, ill dig it up from the dead, and get a sticky for it

in fact heres the link

like i stated i am the god of broken cobalts

 

Just keep in mind, stock there are a total of 30 torque to yield main bolts.
