Go to Mazda

 

[protege1.6t]

Mazda will only have oem parts they are like retarded when you ask them for something. Some people say studs for a toyata will work Hung I don't have a clue

 

[Noisy Crow]

Cut the Miata studs down?

 

[protege1.6t]

I can't the threads are only so long on each side and the stud is at an inch an a quarter to long

 

[tweety2300]

You should just use the regular oem studs right?

Have you tried arp?

If everything else fails go to a machine shop, and have them make them to your needs. It might be 10-30 a piece that way though

if you need them now go to a mazda dealer or machine shop. if not go to rockauto or get arp studs

 

[protege1.6t]

Arp doesn't make them for a protege 1.6. I just had.the motor redone and the machine shop got me miata studs which are way to long and the oem aren't studs they are bolts

Take em back then

Actually you have to get them from Mazda if they're the same same as the fsde they're a torque yield bolt or something like that, it's something weird that Mazda did

Okay... Get thread and pitch... Then length... Start your search.

Machine shop is calling arp Monday an getting the right ones will post pics of setup an dunk sheet when I'm done car with automatic trans and 10psi on stock block made 160 to the wheels so hopefully with the built motor and manual trans an 20 plus psi I can't put down some good numbers

 

[Preferio]

Yeah, until the transmission pukes its brains onto the pavement...

Trans is built to sorry forgot to mention

Sorry man, not trying to sound like a dick...but this would make me very hesitant about your particular machine shop. As mentioned, measure the block depth you need (to find bottom thread stud length), measure the head clearance...and find the pitch of the stock bolts. ARP makes bolts and studs in nearly infinite different sizes, and with a proper supplier database they should've found this information in minutes. Even if they for whatever reason couldn't find the right size, they could've tapped the block for OS studs to begin with.

just saying, this is like engine shop 101...
