Careless Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Does anyone know the difference between the two engine main bolts? Are they exactly the same? Outlets in AUS are selling RB30 and RB26 main kits for different prices. I'm under the impression that they're different, and the loads on the bolts may differ from both. Does anyone know of a way of comparing them? My RB26 that I'm scooping the engine head from has not arrived (and probably wont for a while), so I can't check for myself, but I'd like to order and have them here for when the time comes to put'er all back. Any help is greatly appreciated. Raff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPSNZ Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 RB30 and RB26 are different size bolts, if you really think you need studs get the RB30 studs if your using a 30 block. For most applications the stock used bolts are fine. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Yeah but I can't get new stock bolts because anyone i talk to doesnt have a parts number for them, and I don't feel comfortable using my old ones. I know you've told me that they're built well enough to re-use, even on monster engines, but If I can get a set of new main bolts, I wouldn't bother with ARP main studs.

Careless Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 I see these stud kits are getting quite popular. I'm going to call ARP again and see what people are pickin' and pullin to have em together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
