Default got the fix, stripped threads ls1 snout

Well I was in a hurry to got my balancer on, used a piece of all thread but didn't thread it all the way in , I knew better but just got ahead of myself, ended up stripping the first few threads out of my crank. I then started searching the Internet and found a Massive Speed 120mm bolt which is about 3/8 longer than stock and is rated the same as arp. I bought a tap and cleaned up the threads and installed the new massive speed 120mm bolt and it worked great, the perfect length and gave me that extra grip that I needed to keep my balancer on.

There is the new one. I called them. They said it's a new part for them. Said they will have new pics up soon. Not that it would look much different I suppose.

I need one of these for the LQ4 I'm going to put in my old Suburban. Some meat head tore the front of the nose up big time before I got it. MAHW'14220.
