When you install ARP head bolts, they come with washers that are chamfered on one side. Install this chamfered side towards the bolt head. It's there to clear the radius under the bolt head. ARP doesn't mention this on their instruction sheet, I noticed. ------------------

Yep, thats what it's for. The aerospace
industry has been using these types of fasteners for years.------------------

the larger radius under the bolt head greatly increases the strength of the bolt.

Well Fellows just do like I did and buy ARP studs for the heads and mains and then you don't have to look at the washers. just slap-em on. ------------------

No how
No way Not in a 69-70 at least with a 351C. It's hard enuff as it is using bolts. Plus, with as much as I destroy blocks, bolts are a lot easier to re-use.

...Another ARP stud installation pointer to consider is: When using the recommended ARP moly lube it should be placed on the bottom of the nut, both sides of the washer, and BOTH THREADED ENDS OF THE STUD. For some reason, I thought the lube only went on the "nut end" of the stud.... Ryan
