are ls1 mains tty? Just talked with Barry at ARE and he told me I needed new main bolts since they were tty. I didnt think that they were..just the head and crank bolt/s. Can anyone confirm this? I only rev to the stock 6200 limit so if the bolts do need replacing, do i need ARP studs?

Re: are ls1 mains tty? They may be right or not. Just because you use the torque setting followed by an angular setting does not mean you have a torque to yield fastener, merely that you are achieving a specific clamp load. LS1 tech manuals mention tty for the head bolts but there is no mention of tty for the main cap bolts. Mike.

Re: are ls1 mains tty? The main bolts are reuseable, but you may want to consider some better rod bolts. I didn't feel too good about the stock rod bolts after I felt them stretching, so I used Katech's rod bolts in mine.

Re: are ls1 mains tty? Put it this way. I will re-use my bolts as I've seen nothing to say otherwise. If yours look good you could think about doing the same. They aren't tty. Mike.
