ARP 2342503 Stud Kit

This stud kit worked perfectly for my 2005 Chevy Avalanche Z71 4x4 LTZ Flex Fuel Truck. I was taking off everything so that I can do an oil pump change on my truck because it had a ticking under the hood that everyone told me was a lifter knock. I wanted to try this and a trunion and push rod upgrade first to see if it would fix the problem. Keep in mind that I decided against changing the lifter and camshaft after checking for metal shavings in my oil pan and once I removed the oil pan and the plate inside the oil pan, I could see the camshaft. I turned it manually and could see that the whole thing was smooth and glassy, so I knew that there was nothing wrong in that area. Plus, there were no metal shavings in my oil pan. I changed the oil pump and this stopped the ticking under my truck (5.3L). I did the trunion upgrade because I heard that after 150,000 miles, these cheap what I call half moon trunions that chevy puts in their LSs tend to wear out and break and end up in the engine, which can do damage inside. I definitely didnt want that, so I changed the trunions to what I call full moon trunions and put a slightly bigger rod in for good measure. My truck is running beautifully. Anyway, this stud kit worked wonderfully.

super heavy duty looking bolt! went on my c5 vette

I love ARP bolts for replacing torque to yield factory GM bolts. I didn’t like that it’s a different size from factory and having to buy another specialty socket. That being said, I’d definitely buy it again, but won’t have to because it lasts for ever because it’s reusable.

Big ass bolt that wont break.

Awesome product! Just perfect.

Arp is top quality stuff, I like that they are now including the lube in almost every package. This is a crank bolt for almost every gm ls engine. The factory bolt is only about 6 bucks but it is one time use and torque to yield. Which makes it very hard to properly tighten. This bolt is reusable and has a torque spec that is much easyer. Arp is expensive but worth it if you ever plan on taking it apart again.

It’s what it says it is

Good and fast

Quality is always as expected from arp

Always great products from ARP! Used on a LQ9
