Default Cam retainer plate kit
Who makes a cam retainer plate and bolt kit that doesn't include those stupid countersunk torx bolts? I just went through hell getting those out and I don't ever want to go through that again.

Summit has a few different kits, though I don't know the differences right off. I do seem to recall some with "normal" bolts, but don't hold me to it....

I looked. Can't seem to find them. I see a arp bolt kit that doesn't come with the plate.

Awesome thanks. I just have to buy the bolts separately since mine came with the countersunk torx which now have nuts welded on them lol

Ahh. Interesting.

It's hard to determine from the descriptions, but I have ARP bolts arriving tomorrow and can give you the specific part #.
