We are all in the same quest, a long lasting block, so I am addressing a potential failure point down the road.

I am currently saving for a stronger block and want to make sure all my concerns are addressed.
You obviously did not read my post! The studs job is not to exert compressive forces on the block at the bottom of the stud pocket. The studs when installed are under tension not compression. Because you actually put oil into the stud pocket and then torqued the oem stud down you created a problem that should not even exist and you cracked your block! I guess this was not obvious enough for you.

Questions are always good if they are well thought out questions. Some are not!

cut it out. He understood. He said he hydro'd the stud. If he didn't know that's what he did, he wouldn't have said it.

He was explaining that when he ****ed it up, during the repair he noticed how little material there was. He didn't say that his failure was due to low material.

^^^The point is that's why he had the failure and cracked his block. It has nothing to do with stud diameter or this closed deck thread, durability of the block or any power level that we are discussing here. You also have to look at the block from all angles, sure some areas are thin but that does not mean the area that this stud fits into is weak. That is what I was pointing out but he seemingly failed to comprehend!

Allen,
he said that. You are clearly the one not comprehending here.

His failure had nothing to do with the thickness. He said that.

He personally FEELS that there isn't enough material in that area. And honestly, it's probably a valid point. You are discrediting his point by drawing attention to his failure. His failure was only the method by which he discovered that there was very little material. He did not have a neat cutaway of a block. He broke his, went to fix it and said "HOLY CRAP THERE ISN'T MUCH HERE". Then he mentioned it to us.


He is saying this (FORGET EVERYTHING ELSE) and I'm paraphrasing:

Quote:
Why make the studs bigger when there is very little material in there in the first place?
Why hasn't the lack of material been discussed?
So let's be courteous and address that question instead of saying
Quote:
you're dumb. you screwed up, your point is therefor invalid
His question is valid in this thread because Outfront brought in pictures of larger studs, cutaways and all that. They used this thread as a means of furthering their product, so now we get the chance to quiz them on it.

I've also helped him plenty on his 20G build issues in another forum, he knows this but most here are unaware of that. Yes, I was giving him a bit of a hard time, so shame on me for that!

I think it's pretty clear that the bigger studs offer more strength and holding power because of the bite they give into the block. This is proven, nothing new and Outfront was not the pioneer here. They are bring attention to it again in this thread and those great photos show the added bite their 1/2" studs are giving but also reveal the material thickness in that cross sectional view of the block. I was just trying to point out that the material thickness around the head stud threads is not uniform and there is more material when you look at it from a different cross sectional view.

Has there ever been a failure from a head stud pulling out a chunk of the block with head studs of any size? I know I've seen instances of the threads failing...but not the block itself.

The results are in, we just performed the ultimate head stud torture test on uncut video (soon to be uploaded).

we tested a stock fastner with a snap-on digital torque wrench with torque recall.

the stock fastner gave way at 125ftlbs. at this point the stud felt like it was deforming/growing (it did not pull out)

ARP2000, this fastner torqued to 166ftlbs (from memory) when the fastner had no more to give. it also appeared to be stretching

625+ this fastner torqued to 185 ftlbs when it wouldn't go any more, it also started to stretch

this shows that these two studs above are really at their max torque (75% of yield)

The New Outfront 1/2" head stud torqued to 201ftlbs and then our socket broke. getting a new socket we torqued it to 233ftlbs, the fastner still felt strong and no feeling of stretch.

torque facts from ARP
11mm ARP2000= 15,700 pounds clamping at 90ftlbs cost $220 220ksi
11mm ARP625+= 18,000 pounds of clamping at 100ftlbs cost $520 260ksi
Outfront 1/2= 20,500 pounds of clamping at 140ftlbs cost $480 $220ksi

Our studs do require block and head machining that we can do for $270

there is zero reason for spending the money on timeserting the block for 11mm studs. it is clear that there is no "pullout" of any stud before the yield was met or at 233ftlbs!

we will start a new "stud torture test" thread

In for those results. I wish I could have had the machining done to use those 1/2 studs. I guess I'll be using the 625+ for now.

I'm loving it....I feel even better about my planned boost levels!!

So the failure point of the 1/2" is still unknown? I know we are beyond the point of reason already but inquiring minds want to know

In for the video. I would like to see what kind of distortion that kind of force puts on the main bearings. Up to 100 ft/lbs. I have not noticed any measurable difference, however I have heard, when you get past 120ft/lbs it starts moving stuff around.

More info: we went to take the fastners out of the block. the 1/2 unit unscrewed by the allen at the tip of the stud.

but guess what?...........................both of the 11mm units could not come out of the block using the allen (or should I say my allen started to strip out

beings that these studs used in this test are junk, we just put a stud removing tool on them to get them out. they did not come out easy and felt like the threads in the block were not OK any more.

So Chris (KillerBee) there is your answer: threads pulling out of the block with stock 11 mm threads appears to start happening at 140-170 ftlbs. pull out of the 1/2"ers are unknown at this point. it also proved that there is no weakness in the block (at least at 233ftlbs) I might add we did find a weakness with our kit. The 1/2" 12point nut did not move on our stud. this test damaged the nut!

The video will take over two hours to up load. we will be posting future posts regarding the studs in this thread: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2595764

Probably the same at 625's and L19's.

I think they are the same as L19's, so a little less than 625's.

It doesn't matter the Outfront Motorsports are the clear winner

Seems like Outfront closed deck + their headstuds in the future for me

what headgaskets are you guys using?

If the diameter can be increased without and negatives (like a loss in pull out strength, or thread strength), this is preferred. With hardened fasteners its always a balaning act between toughness and brittleness. Strongest = brittle, less strong = tougher.
A fastners' clamping force is only determined by the tensile strength (material)
and the cross section of the fastner, therefore the resistance to stretch is directly proportional to clamping force, are you saying they are different?

I think the balancing act you referred to is when the diameter stays the same and you are trying to maximize the fastner within your limits, however going to the larger stud (as long as there are no side effects to block cracking under load and proven negative today) allows for
1 more thread engagement
2 larger thread diameter (more surface contact)
3 if only torqued to 120ftlbs then the fastner is being used at 60% of yield
unlike those running at 80% yield,

So you tell me if my fastner and the 625+ were both torqued to 100ftlbs,
the one at 80% yield and the other at 60% which would be more likely to stretch? in theory they should hold the same. however where ours shine is when you need to go over 100ftlbs. It is not proven yet how high you could torque a head without distortion, it's possible that that torque could be 140ftlbs and we never knew because the only fastners available could only be torqued to 100. the argument of not torqueing the heads any tighter than stock because it might warp the head was more likey because the fastners couldn't handle anything more--not that the head couldn't.

It will be interesting to see more testing, we will gear up to see the effects on the mains when a head is torqued to 140. of course this would be a candidate for ARP case studs before the test is done.

With the outfront head studs being so strong, is there any need to O-ring their closed deck block if I want to run 37psi?

No not really, outfront typically does not o ring.

^^^very nice, I'll definitely go this direction by the end of this year/next year (when I run my current built block to 60k or if it fails whichever first lol). I'm just waiting for more guinea pigs to report back on their Outfront closed deck, all positive reviews so far
