What are you building this motor for ? N/A, boost ?

You should have the main caps checked when using studs and line honed if needed.

Agreed. A line hone is usually needed with the studs. The stock bolts will hold over 500 wheel, and personally I have never seen a main bolt failure.

We show the same part number for these, but if you are unable to find a set, we can get you some. Feel free to give us call even if you have any questions.

I am currently rebuilding my LS1 & am wanting to go back with GM replacement main & side saddle bolts. But for some reason cannot find any anywhere. I do not want to use ARP due to the honing need.

You have ARP now and want to go back to OEM? Why?

We can get the OE GM bolts, but do not regularly stock them. If I recall correctly, they are about $110 or so for the full set (30 bolts/studs total).

Even though we dont stock them, we can get them from our local distributor pretty quick (within a day or worst case two).
