Came across another Kind of a silly detail on the 572.

As some might recall, the first run of these had arp main nuts, but Mitchell sourced the studs from who
Knows where. They were never called out on Mopar's bill of materials so wasn't much I could research.

Though I hadn't personally come across any issues with the main studs...and no customers directly complained of trouble
I thought it best to replace the 10 main studs on my '08 block being that some folks claimed they could potentially
Be rubber.....

So I went about trying to purchase just the studs as we did around here in '08/'09 when the Mitchell non-arp stud were first
Called out. I got quoted the same price as the whole kit with cross bolts, nuts and washers.

Turns out arp made it difficult to purchase just the studs alone.

So I bought the whole kit instead.

Turns out they changed the cross bolts for cross studs.

I'm not sure I need that but I'll run it.

Just seems odd, like 100 other things.

Darren at KB told me to watch for header clearance issues (good point)
