So you cut the stud, as opposed to using a stock bolt in that one location?


Wasn't there a thread a year back here or somewhere else where someone posted a picture of the ARP stud in question that had been machined down? I seem to recall someone had put it on a lathe and turned down the diameter slightly in an attempt to rectify the potential problem. Maybe it was a factory head bolt?
