Default Question about stock main bolts and arp main bolts

Here is my situation, I got my motor back and realized 3 of the arp main bolts are regular bolts vs the ones I need for the windage tray.

My questions are:

Does arp sell individual bolts?
Can I just pick up 3 stock bolts and keep the rest arp?



I don't know how I didn't get the windage tray ones. A certain sponsor must of sent me the wrong ones. Idk.

Thanks!

i would just call arp and see if they can sell you the correct bolts. i would not mix and match when it come to critical fasteners.

For a LONG time it has been common for guys to use a few stock or Milodon bolts to mount the windage tray and the rest use ARP. These days though ARP does have the proper windage tray bolts.

Given that ARP does offer the right bolts now I would go ahead and get them, but I wont tell you you have to.

Ok good to know. I'm going to see if I can get ahold of just the windage tray bolts from arp. I won't mess any thing up if I take out the 3 and put new in right? As long as I torque them to 80 ft lbs? Red or blue lock tite?

And if I end up using stockers?

Can I get just the windage ones from arp? I'm not going to buy a whole new kit.

I know Jegs and Summit sell studs, not the windage tray bolts, but I'll bet if you produce a part number from the ARP catalog that Jegs and or Summit could get it for you.

134-5502 ARP LT1 stud kit with windage tray provisions. Maybe this will help the poster track down the 3 studs he needs.

I don't mean to hijack, but thought another thread about a similar question would be close to pointless. I'm looking for arp main studs for a splayed 4 bolt WITH windage tray provisions, but can't discern which ones are what I need. Which ones do you guys with 4 bolt splayed mains and keeping the tray generally use?
