1st question, I bought a used ARP Head Stud kit, and it did not come with washers. Is it okay to run like this, or do I need some washers? Could I use factory head bolt washers?

2nd question, My original plans were to go N/A-T, but now I'm just doing a full GTE swap. Should I buy/make a block off plate, and run the turbo drain to the oil pan, since I already have the Driftmotion N/A-T oil soft line kit? Or should I buy a -10 oil drain flange..

The drain fitting bolts that thread into the block should be M8x1.25, around 15-25mm long (can't remember for sure)
The oil fitting bolts that thread into the turbo body should be the same- its the length of the bolts I'm not 100% on.


Edit: now I see what you're after. You can do whatever you want to do with the drain. strock lines would be fine, as would the drain setup you currently have. I would suggest using the factory turbo oil drain location- its well out of the oil reservior, and you want to stay away from it to prevent oil backing up in the drain tube and causing smoke/damage.

IJ, I was asking about the size of the washers for the ARP studs. And I actually have the GTE block, so its no longer N/A-T, just a full GTE swap (including pistons). But it looks like I will need to find a 7m -10 oil drain flange. Definitely not going to hook up the factory lines, lol. I assume Driftmotion will have this?
