ARP 2342503 Stud Kit

Best bolt to get for this!

It’s what it says it is

Bolt arrived quickly and worked exactly as expected. Came with a packet of grease for the threads and contact points.

ARP is top shelf high grade bolts, nuts, and others high strength easterners. Their USA history is second to none. The 12 point socket fit perfect. I will never use cheap parts for items like crankcase bolts. I chased the threads to ease the installation. I used a balance beam torque wrench snug this bolt on a 2000 silverado 2500 4WD. The truck runs fine. I replaced the oil pump, hoses, water pump, front crank seal, oil pressure screen, oil pan gasket, oil pump p/u tube and added a new coolant thermostat. All this was just part of regular maintenance in light of any the oil pan gasket needing to be replaced. I had nothing better to do so I replaced a bunch of other parts.The truck will probably reach 300K miles shortly then it will time for a new vehicle. I will be sad to see my Bessy go away when she hits 300k.

This is a really good bolt. Great quality and it’s reusable. I think it should be about 1/2 inch longer.

Very well made and a good price. Great quality product.

holding my balancer on quite nicely

what i was looking for

Quality Stud kit, the last stud Ill ever need for this motor and comes with enough assembly lube for multiple installs. Was a little worried about finding the right 12 pt socket for this - 1-1/6, but I found one at the first auto parts place I went to (Oreilys).

A must have over the stock GM torque to yield bolt, especially if your installing a aftermarket damper (harmonic balancer). Just be ready to torque it to 235 ft-lbs!
