Looking at the spec. sheet I got with my aluminum World block it says:Race blocks come with nodular iron main caps with all five caps being two bolt style with cross-bolts on the first four positions. All the main caps use 1/2"-13 studs. Torque spec. on main studs is 100 ft. lbs. with oil and 45 ft. lbs. on the cross bolts

This spec. sheet is generic as it covers both the aluminum and CGI blocks. Now looking in the catalog it says that all complete engines come with ARP internal hardware.
So do they change out the studs to build their crate engines or is this a isolated case? My block is at the machine shop so I can't look but he'll be getting a call for sure, so will World.


it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead
