Sorry so long. Just recieved my level 3 Grooms short block today. As I un-crated it the top half of an ARP rod bolt fell onto the floor. The bolt had broken where the threads meet the smooth part of the bolt. I called Grooms, they said either to bring it back, or try to get the rest of the bolt out. After a few hours of very patient work I got the other end out. They now, are sending me another bolt to put in it's place. Not a good start to this motor. So I hope this solves the problem. They told me to torque it to 40 ft/lb. Does this sound right and do you forsee any future problems? Also have some extra girdle parts I'm not so sure about.
15 flat silver washers
3 1 7/8" studs, maybe for timing cover?
3 short 1/2" allen bolts
3 1/4" flange nuts, maybe for studs on timing cover?
2 1 1/2" allen bolts, maybe for oil pickup?
17 flange nuts probably for oil pan
Then there is one long 13" aluminum piece with notches along one side and 3 small holes in it?
Also on the back of the girdle, on the studs there are 2 nuts that don't allow the oil pan to sit flush on the girdle. Are these nuts supposed to be there?
