Here are a few engines being built at SUPERTEC

[Henry Schmidt]

Hi guys
We stated that the threads were rolled because they are rolled, not because they are the only ones that are rolled.
There is a feature about our studs that is unique ( as far as I know) our studs have fine thread 10 x 125 on the nut end. No other stud that I know of has this feature. Not ARP, Not Raceware , Not SSF and certainly not Porsche.
As for the material: I am not an engineer. I got advice as to what the stud I found in a race engine was.
We tried 7 different designs.
We have used them in street and race engines for over 4 years.
Never any failure.
We like them. That's why we are now offering them to the public. If you like them buy them From Pelican Parts. Ask for them by name. SUPERTEC heads stud kit.

I think the reason everyone is talking about rolled threads is just because I asked which studs had them... no worries!

We started assembly monday AM. Ready to ship to a shop in No. Cal. Tuesday 2:30 PM. I wish all our projects went this smoothly.

Fine looking engine; because I'm a pessimist I'd ship it blocked in a full crate. Jim

[Henry Schmidt]

Well, insurance being what it is, we make money if they break it.
It's a win win. They get to be stupid and I get paid to repair it.

Henry, what type of coating is applied to the cooling tin? Is that a powder coat color or some kind of dip? Inquiring minds...

[Mark McClure]

OK..had a look at the web site. The big question is how much for the stud kit?

Cheers

Mark.

Henry, thanks for the info and the pics. Those are really Super looking engines. I would have to bring one into the house for a week or two just to introduce it to the family. It could sit at the dinner table with me. That's not a privilege I lend easily.

I apolpogize for these guys who play Doubting Thomas. I am convinced and when I need such items, I will be in touch with Supertech or PP.

Gorgeous projects Henry!

I'm no engineer either, but if anybody wants to hear what materials and fabrication techniques are actually going into military and space flight hardware...I could probably find out.

Helarious pic of the engine ready to be shipped with ALL FOUR ENGINE MOUNTING BOLTS AND STUDS protruding from the case. Way to risky.

[Henry Schmidt]

You guys are amazing. We build a long block engine from bare case to ready to ship in 1 1/2 days and all you can comment on is the packaging. Perhaps you missed the point ?

OH MY GOD, YOU"RE RIGHT ! THEY COULD BEND A STUD, THEN WHAT WOULD WE DO ?

In 19 years of building these engines and shipping them on an open pallet we have had only one mishap. A fork lift driver stuck a fork into an oil cooler.
Insurance paid for a new one.
Thank you for your concern but we're shipping engines here (although they may look like artwork) not Ming Dynasty artifacts.

[KobaltBlau]

I think they look great, Henry. I'm not sure why sayah felt the need to say that. Maybe because he's a say ... ah. ba-dum-bum.

The plating as stated on my receipt is :
Cadmium AMS QQ-P-416 F Type II Class 3
Color gold.
We do all of our hardware so it is done in batch form, no wire.
The company that does this for us has asked me not to refer Porsche customers to them anymore because they seem to complain too much.
Kind of a shame, isn't it?

The big answer is.
You can buy the SUPERTEC head stud kit from Pelican Parts.
The retail price is $594.95 and the part
number is SPTC-HSK-1.
They are ready to ship now.

[Eugene at Pelican Parts]

No, it's NOT broken.

These are now available for purchase here. Thanks Henry!

[rick-l]

Do you also sell the socket for that nut?
How much does the torque change with the finer pitch thread?

[Henry Schmidt]

The socket is a standard 14 mm 12 point socket. Because of the low torque valves, a thin wall 3/8 drive works fine.

As for the torque values, there are three different values listed in the installation instructions.
Thanks for your interest.

[adomakin]

i like your nuts henry.














sorry.
