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.

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.

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.

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.

What headwork are you doing?

I’m installing IE valve springs and retainers to reduce valve float at higher rpm.
