Poriordan 97 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Nope new but I never used the lube for the bottom of the studs so guys from arp say its probably that but they were good as gold and have offered to send a replacement set free of charge better not mess it up this time I'm going to use a dial style torque wrench if i can borrow one rather than my click style just incase that was a factor luckily for me the stud cam right out and was only finger tight still Link to post Share on other sites

Poriordan 97 Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Small update rocker cover refited and had to mod fan housing slightly for throttle bodie to clear it, also extended the plug for the inlet manifold, started to mod front end to fit intercooler Link to post Share on other sites
Poriordan 97 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 After some help after test fitting my throttle bodie I've noticed it's touching the fan motor it fits but it's snug is this ok or could there be issues Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Hmm hard to say, may be worth looking into slimline fans, i believe they fit better. Also if the engine rocks at all when your moving it could damage the motor / throttle body more. Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 As long as the inlet is on and making a seal the alternator and inlet are static, so fitting is fitting. Link to post Share on other sites
