I'll be taking my 383 LS1 apart this week. Can I re-use my ARP main studs in my next motor build?

 

Yes sir, completely reusable!

 

Im pretty sureball ARP's are reusable.

 

Almost all bolts are reusable. Especially ARP. The only time you can't reuse a bolt is when it is a torque to yield fastener like the stock head bolts and damper bolt or if it is a rod bolt is in bad shape and won't stretch to the proper limit with the spec'd torque.

 

So y'all think there'd be no problem reusing the stock LQ4 main bolts huh? THat'd be great if so. The $200 ARP main bolts kills my budget build.

Has anybody else reused their stock main bolts?

I am concerned because I've seen a main bolt break on removal in a LS1 before.

Thanks in advanced for any feedback and sorry to thread jack but it seemed to fit.

 

Ive reused main bolts a couple times with no problems. But if you can fit it in your budget their worth replacing.

 

Awesome! thanks!

On this build, I'm trying to keep the cost down and low as possible while trying to do it well at the same time. As we all know thats a hard thing to balance. Im just trying to get this into my 3rd gen. Then I'll sit back and save my pennies to build the dream engine.

Thanks again for the response.
