I have to back off my ARP main studs about 3 turns to get the nuts the whole way on. ARP says common but everyone else says not right on non-LS1s. Anyone else have this problem or did yours all bottom out fine? thanks
Oh and no side bolts for $250 ARP main studs...what a freakin rip off.

 

I only paid 139 for main studs through Scoggin Dickey.

 

Sorry, I paid $149...got them and the head bolts mixed up. I guess screwing them in the needed distance with thread locker is okay?

 

Mine were the same way.. shouldn't be a problem.

 

You do need to back them out to get the nuts on all of the way. This is not a problem. Good luck
