To go along with our new head gaskets, SBP is introducing replacement cylinder stud kits. We say get rid of the lousy studs and nasty stripmeister acorn nuts and use real hardware. We supply all the parts in a very convenient kit.
In M6-1.00, M8-1.00 and M8-1.25
Simple to ways determine the size you have. 6mm will be the same as engine mounting studs, M8-1.00 will be larger but will still have the same thread spacing when compared side by side with mount studs. Another simple way is to measure 1 cm and count the threads. 1.00 thread pitch will have 10 threads in that 1 cm, 1.25 thread pitch will have 8 threads.
I've been riding for almost a year on my M8-1.00 studs, and have run the torque as high as 20 ft/lbs with no issues. Typical recommendation is around 15 ft/lbs on the M8. The M6 is 10-12 ft/lbs in the published materials.
And here is the proper link:Stud Kits
Also we lowered our price to $9.95 as we found a new source of real 8.8 grade material. Check it out. This is a heck of a bargain.
