head studs?

[miletwo]

I'm trying to find head studs for my FJ55, but ain't been so lucky. I tried Napa... they said they'd have to order them, it would take a week, and I have to buy 25. WTF!

My response:

MAF only has 4 in stock and has ripped me off enough on the carb kit. $OR is out of the question... ream job on shipping is too much for me.

Any ideas on where I might look for these?

Thanks,

JA

Are you looking for head bolts? I am not aware of a Land Crusier F or 2F engine that has head studs...

If so, please let me know what year your engine is, and I am pretty sure that I have some, if used will work for you...


If you are looking for studs....


Good luck!

Are you looking for head bolts or manifold studs?

Or rocker arm studs maybe?

I've got literally hundreds of those. Could send you a set for the cost of shipping.

well i think that he maens head studs its a hot rod thing they thighten more even than bolts, but in a motor with like 7.3to1 comp it wont make a diff.

With diesels they start studing the head when you get in the 50 lbs. of boost range. they also o-ring the block and the head so you don't blow a head gasket every time you punch it.

Sorry... manifold studs. Somebody on Birfield recommended a dealer in Santa Rosa... was going to go that route but if somebody has an alternative for studs/nuts... I still need them.

Many have replaced with bolts, but I'll be running headers and would really like to be sure I can get the flange tightened down good. I've read too many stories about leakies on here and I don't want to be one of them.

Thanks,

Why reinvent the wheel. Studs are still about a buck a piece at the dealer, 10mm or 12mm. Definitely a good idea to switch over from bolts. Go aftermarket on the nuts and washers tho, because they'll give you a better spread over a header than the stock ones will.
