Are people having head lift issues, or do you guys just want upgraded head studs just because? They aren't gonna help with rev abilities. If anything rods bolts and a coated bearing since you're already doing the bolts, And of course valve springs as already mentioned.
I think it's more because if you are opening up the engine anyway, might as well go stronger if available and stop a potential problem. "
it doesn't list springs as an upgrade on the product page
it could be planned by them though?
I talked to them before about it. It is supposed to come with upgraded valves, but they haven't got them from the manufacturer yet. No telling when they will come in. I've heard different things. Apparently, upgraded springs for the N54 are a big challenge. "
not any of the valvetrain itself going by their site
their stage 3 is just a port/multi angle/recondition
i'm pretty convinced i'll be able to get that work done here for less (from a reputable shop) without taking into account that i have to spend hundreds on packing+shipping it to VAC in the first place, and risking damage etc.
Stage 3 does come with upgraded springs, I believe. But they haven't received any yet. "
Anyone be up for a group buy on head studs alone from somewhere if no one does small batches? i'm not a fan of bolts compared to studs in general - will have to start sending emails around to companies about this too.
Not all the bolts are the same either. I think a couple have different lengths. "
