Shorten GT3 Head Stud for an engine rebuild?
Hello,
I have a question. Actually I’m rebuilding a 2.2 S engine and would like to upgrade the head studs. My preferred would be Dilavar ones....
Now, I heard you could use the Dilavar head studs from a 996 GT3 (PN 99610117270) and shorten them. The length of one is 185.5mm, M10 full threads like from the 993. I have access to machine tools, so a correct job could be done. It would be one of the last evolution stages of Porsche studs and a lot of engine rebuilder use this opportunity. Moreover it may be price attractive, you can get them for 12€ / 14$.... ( Unfortunately some people may have to add some additional taxes from today... :( )
It would be great, if somebody could give a feedback about this opportunity to shorten the GT3 ones.
