ARP fvckin sucks so much balls, its unbelievable. i think i read about this but didnt think anyhitng of it. i go to put on my head nuts for hte arp studs and i cant get to 3 of them because a 12mm socket doesnt fit inbetween. i am so frustrated right now im going to get a shot gun and start going to town on the block and head

don't use birdshot, I've tried. wink1.gif

..you won't get anywhere.


triple aught buck or bust! cool.gif

Uhm...

So you need a low side profile socket?

i tried about 6 different sockets i just got 3 more today to try but im not sure if itll work

Ok, let's make sure I have this straight. ARP sucks because your using universal studs/nuts that you can't get access to because Hyundai spaced the holes too closely together and ARP's strengthened(probably a bit oversized) pieces won't allow you room to work? Now that is completely ARP's fault and that is why they suck?

Umm...

LMAO! Just messing with you. Good luck with that and let everyone know how you get to them finally.

haha basically, yeah. i got the head on tonight, just came in from bolting that and most of the other shit on. turbo, turbo manifold, and intake piping is left to do so ill let u guys know how it turns out. hopefully running tomorrow if all goes good. fyi i got a cheapo 12mm 12 point socket and shaved it down little by litte. so i got it to work. now i have a custom hyundai socket: $29.95 if anyone wants to buy one...jk

You know, you're no longer a noob, so there's no excuse for you to not check and read through the stickies. I already mentioned the ARP head bolt problem, and the easy correction for it.
