Seemed like the right thread to bump, despite the age...
Although slightly different topic!
Where can one find new Porsche bottom-end studs for the crank girdle? Anyone have PN?
I see there are RaceWare kits available but wondering if Porsche parts are less expensive, like they are with the head studs.

Building an engine? PET doesn't show a separate part number -- they are shown as part of the block. Not sure if that really means you can't get them separately from Porsche, but I've never seen them. If you pull one, you might get lucky matching it to an ARP stud? Heritage replaced mine on my "someday" motor, but they were either racewares or something more expensive I'm sure...
Nice to see you around Sam I think that link is to a head stud rather than the girdle studs.
Voith, I assume those are the oversized (14mm, 9/16") studs that require the threads to be changed in the block? I have a set from Heritage but always interested in a spare set if Sam passes.
$250 shipped. Very nice bolts, to me they look beefier than the 16vARPs I just got.

Mine are standard block side thread and finer head side, but I think the non threaded bit is just a little bit thicker (at least I got that impression, didn't measure). Bought them from Michael Mount for 8vT but later decided to 16vT.
Used suds are probably ok, but finding a set might be a challenge, especially a set removed with a non-damaging stud puller.
Just checked -- McMaster has metric studs in all hardness classes, and in pretty granular length options.
Raceware it will be, if I have to! Would just like to find something less expensive for the mains if available.
I wonder if 944 head studs would be suitable to cut down and re-thread to work as main studs....hmmmmm...maybe not worth the time
I intend to use regular old Porsche head studs though.
(you know, if I don't suddenly change my mind about this engine and start to build something completely different, which I seem to do often )

Ah, I didn't know Milledge made studs in the stock size. I'm sure they are quality studs, but wrong size for me...
