I’ve seen a few broken ifgs and exotics over the past few yrs now.Originally Posted by Donnieram2012
I personally won’t use anything but arp.

Not sure but, could you call them to see if they will work with you on a replacement?
I would be irate if it we're me.
I get it, pressure will stretch head bolts or studs.
Could that stud possibly have been over tightened which caused the stud to snap?
I would be curious what the stud looks like.
Ever since I've started turning wrenches with dad, use ARP.

You might get lucky and be able to remove that stud with out pulling the head.
The ones I’ve seen were broken in the block had to pull the head.
Call them they will likely send you a new one no questions asked.
That’s the experience I’ve had with them atleast.

Man, that is terrible.
If I were you, knowing it sucks, I would change them out for ARP.
If other members have seen them snap, that may tell you something.
I am over here holding my breath on my turbo because I went a particular route.
Honestly, you should see the videos on ARP's quality control.
Well, I found out they went out of business due to COVID!

I don't know of any shops near Molalla.
There's a place in Portland that might have studs in stock.
I'll try and get the name again.

I went with the Optitorque torque master 10341.
Claim to be better than the 425s and just under the 625s and American-made.
Fingers crossed for a good head stud; I haven't heard much about them.

Why cross your fingers for such an important part of your build?
Cancel those and bite the bullet for the 625s.
You've already found what buying a no-name inferior product will get you.
Had you gone 625's in the first place, you wouldn't be in the guessing/hoping it'll work situation.
There are a few components one should try to skimp on, and studs are not it, jmo.
