ARP 100-7201 (ARP-100-7201) Set of screw in rocker studs. If correct they will feature a 3/8 by 24 thread for the rocker arm to be compatible with the adjustable nuts. WARNING - I have ordered studs with M10x1.5 mm threads for the screw in portion. This metric thread is common at my place and will make machining easier but may cause confusion in the US. One review actually stated that the buyer found out he had no tap for this thread. So make sure you get the correct one for your application. | ARP 100-7201 (ARP-100-7201) Set of screw in rocker studs.

| + | I also found out that these replacement studs may not work if you have 3/8" press in studs. An M10 tap will not fit into a 3/8" hole, there is not enough material left. Therefore you may need 7/16"-14 studs but they will be too high for the valve covers. Either cut the bosses or the studs. I'll go for the studs - see below in MACHINING THE HEADS. | ||
