Like many of you, I’ve been waiting with baited breath for LS headstuds to be released by AEBS. I was bored at work, so I called them to find out when to expect a release:
“Yo!”
“hello, is this Advanced engine breathing sys-”
“Yeah, whattaya need man.”
“Wow. Okay, well i’m stationed at offutt air force base in nebraska, and a lot of people i know are wondering when to expect the LS headstuds to be released.”
“What LS headstuds?”
“You guys aren’t making any?”
“Hell no man, nobody does straight LS setups anymore. Everyone puts the VTEC heads on LS motors now.”
“Wow. well thanks for your–” click
Never in my life have i been treated so poorly. I have added AEBS to my shitlist of companies. It’s not long, but I have already had 3 companies blacklisted by the Department of Defense…meaning that any DoD employees (military or civilian) are forbidden from patronizing them. I’ll be starting paperwork for the same to happen to AEBS when I return from leave. Excuse the language, but for fuck’s sake people. That has to be the worst example of customer “service” i’ve ever seen.
What a bunch of fuckers. Don’t you hate it when companies that are supposed to be the best out there hire people right out of high school and shit without giving them even the slightest customer service training.
because you have to retorque the ARP’s after a certain period of time, and i honestly wasn’t really looking forward to removing all my cams and crap just to check torque on something that SHOULD torque down correctly the first time.
but there i go again, demanding performance for the price i pay. silly theory, huh?
People say you shoudl recheck the torque to make sure they haven’t loosened at all after a few heat cycles. but never loosen them and then retorque. only check torque. but from frien’ds experience. they haven’t checked the torque sicne installnig them lnog long tiem ago. still good to go. but you never know i guess. I ahve ARP head studs. not gonna bother checking torque again tho.
no, the dimple on the end of the stud. it bottoms out on the block before the threads bottom out, making preloading the stud more effective and safe.
it’s moot; they don’t make 'em for me, and when i inquired as to when to expect them to do so, they were as rude as rude can be i must say. so i’m not going to use or recommend their products to anyone anymore.
