Jim, Ryan decided to use bolts in the mains. Or maybe I did not tell him I wanted studs? LOL I can't remember. But I am OK with Bolts. I do not see a huge advantage with studs. If I was on a tight budget I would run it with the original bolts, no problem. These are really nice ARP bolts and I like them. One benifit is they clear the OIL PP without any mods.

Matt, Ryan saw the pic I posted and told me he thinks the pin fit is what screwed the rods up. So they were probably perfect until the setup for the pin fit got jacked up (the pin fit guy should be fired). They just need new bushings and a pin fit. The only question is will the new bushings fit as nice as the originals or do they go for oversize bushings and a new bushing fit. I already made it clear I do not want ANY compromises at this point. I believe Ryan is looking out for me and is planning on making sure everything works out. I have not talked to R&R myself. Ryan is handling everything for me.
