Default ARP crank bolt for the LS1:

I see this is a new release. Is anyone using it? I'd like to order one to go on the new motor. It should be reusable. Otherwise, I dont see the advantage.

Yes it is reusable and I thought I heard that you can get it in 12 point or 6 point heads. I saw it on TV over the sema show...

Directions and torque specs are the same as stock. I got mine directly from ARP for $15 plus shipping.

So seat the pulley with old bolt, remove old bolt and insert ARP bolt, torque, then stretch to 140*? Thanks.

Seriously, the stock one works just as well. I would never resuse a crakn bolt anyways.

Install instructions: Seat the damper, fasten bolt, tighten to 240 FT LBS. (yeah right, just use the German torque spec of Good'n'tight") Remove bolt, put new one in and torque to 37 FT LBS or 50 Nm on the first pass, then 120 degrees on the second pass.
