Hey all, my motor will be getting the serious work started any day now, and I just received my ARP main studs. I left my stock stud bolts with my engine builder, and planned on assembling the block myself. After reading the ARP note that came with the studs, it seems as though I might screw up my block and clearances if the builder doesn't have whatever studs/bolts I plan on using to assemble for the hone? I need to know asap so I can basically overnight these to him if need be. Thanks

 

When using arp main studs you will want to have a line bore/hone done to the block (you may need this anyway especially if its a sleeved block). So if you want to use the main studs then the line bore needs to be done with the studs.
