Hi guys, Im Chuck and I will represent WORLD Products. The ARP stud kit is $112.99 at Summit.
Im also the new MOPAR guy here and am currently building an all aluminum 540cu World HEMI.
So I feel your pain with the studs, I even checked
mine, and luckily they are ARP. Any questions you guys have fire away and I will find you an answer.

The boss over here at World is now aware of the problem and has issued a statement to our foundry where both the iron and aluminum are cast. All if any left non ARP hardware is being discarded.
ONLY ARP hardware will be used and to our knowledge that is what was sold. We are currently going through the HEMI and WEDGE inventory here at WORLD to make sure this does not happen again.

Hello Chuck,
What will be done for those of us that bought blocks with the inferior studs? Who pays for the new studs, gaskets, machine work etc. time lost? I paid to have my block align honed with these studs. What happens when I replace those studs with the real ARP hardware?
