Main Bolt Q... Hi All,
Just bought a set of new LSX main bolts (take outs replaced with studs). Are these TTY or can they be reused? I'll prolly run studs, but needed something to get my block on the boring bar...

I know that you want to get your block on the boring bar, but I would use the studs (which are for the final build) for machining. Different bolts/ studs apply torque differently and it will effect the final machining tolerances.

Thanks!
Wasn't sure, I was thinking the boring apparatus was referenced off the crank bore and needed to be clamped with the main caps torqued over it...

If you are align honing the mains, you would want to use the studs as the main bores will distort differently with the studs compared to bolts.
I was wondering if it would be worth torque plate honing with the studs that will be going into the motor. Run the risk of the machine shop loosing them or damaging them!
