arp bolts for the whole engine?

smokinss 02-21-2013 11:54 AM

I already had the arp crank bolt and flex plate bolts. Adding the rod bolts and head bolts.

Nice! so whats the word on yours why the failure?

smokinss 02-23-2013 12:50 PM

Still not sure. We have a couple ideas

1. The rod could of been tweaked from the get go. It did come out of a lingenfelter TT vette with 8lbs of boost.
2. I noticed that when I took off the oil pan a couple of the main bolts seemed loose. Not sure if it was before/after the damage
3. Rod cap possibly loose.

Picking up my new motor today!!!:nanawrench:
