Please encourage those folks to come back to Rennlist for their discussions.
This type of message board forum is an infinitely superior format for tracking builds and sharing info and photos, than FB.
The decline of boards in favor of FB over the last few years is a great tragedy. Used to be you could find useful info by searching or asking on a forum.
Now you go to a FB group and get 300 uninformed opinions and no useful info.

ARP main studs
Not sure if I want to go with the 12-13 TTRS main cap bolts or if I want to ream out all of my caps now... I have not heard of this issue from anyone else.

Have you tried fitting your ARP main stud kit yet. I bought the set from integrated engineering and tried installing it on a CBUA engine and on 5 of the caps the nut side of the threads are too large to fit inside the cap and the #4 cap that I did the thrust bearing mod already on has a tighter tolerance hole and the body of the ARP stud won't even go into that one. I installed the stud on the other 5 caps after the caps were in place and they do not seat all the way down and stick up about 3/8-1/2" to high imo.

If you change to ARP main on girdle you need to line bore the block hence the higher clamp load.

I’m still in process of working on the head, and have not installed the ARP studs yet. I’ll post my results when I reattached the head to the block.

2) is this a steam vent?
3) what are the threads here, im assuming m14?
4) what is this used for?
5) what are these called, where do they go
6) this is connected to the top radiator port correct?

2. I see people in the thread using it for steam vent. Capping it or using it for Turbo cooling makes the most sense to me
3. Stock 944 Coolant Temp Sensor
4. This would feed your heater core and/or bypass to one of the ports on the water pump for when the engine isn't up to temp yet for the thermostat to open
5. Gasket. They will come preinstalled. The nylock nuts replace the stock ones.
6. Correct. Top radiator port
