This is driving me nuts, but....does anyone know where I can find a reliable source on getting some M20 head studs? I'm trying to finish my turbo build and this is the last essential thing I need to at least drop the motor in. :hitler:

Some of the members on this forum sell them. In fact, one of them has it in his siggy how much he sells them for, and for which engines. I'm too lazy to look right now and find it for you though. -
Are metric blues still popular for turbo builds? Havent heard them mentioned in ahwile.

I believe that the metric blues fad has faded away. O-ringed block with OEM head bolts seems to be an up and coming trend, with O-ringed block and ARP studs as the nuclear-attack option."If the sky were to fall tomorrow, the tall would die first."

When I was building my car the 'thing to do' was MLS gasket and stock bolts. Now it is O-ringed block, stock gasket, and ARP studs. facepalm.jpg-AlexComment

I run Metric Blue, You can get them from McMaster-Carr for about $30 for a set.
There's nothing wrong with them if your looking for a low buget under 10psi built.
but if you pushing the limit of the head and boost ARP is what you want..https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar...re-irs.356333/

Metric blues have been discussed a lot. They aren't really head bolts as much as they are bolts that happen to have the same length diameter and thread pitch as stock head bolts. They aren't much cheaper than stock either... I think it is like a $5 difference. IMO ARP>stock>metric blue.-AlexComment
