who would have ever purchased only the ARP nuts and those junk studs unintentionally.
The chinese factory....
I doubt it was a chinese factory , more like a supplier trying to make a larger profit .
I was just going by the guys statement in his post...he said:
Quote: 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.
I thought their blocks were cast offshore and machined here? Maybe I'm wrong on that....
