Re-fit ARP head studs if your planning to have the head on-off a lot

er.... use www.google.co.uk and search for 'ARP head bolts'
I dont know what engine you have.
Car mapped WITH a UNICHIP doesnt need metal rollers or ARP rod bolts. They are a good idea for higher reving engines though.
x16xe?

yes i have a x16xe, was going the have the rev limit set to 7200, should the standard rod bolts and rollers be ok, can i not just get head bolts from vaux or are these arp bolts better?

Standards will be fine, arp's will be better.. If its revving to 7200 arp bolts and metal rollers would be a good idea..

no.... do it yourself.
You know what you want, you know your engine. It isnt hard.
ARP rod bolts
SBD alu rollers
Both can be got from http://www.sbdev.co.uk phone them
