    Default WARNING ARP Main Bolts/Balance Shaft

    So i rebuild my motor at the start of the year, had it running without Balance Shaft than decided I like a bit less vibes. So one night i put it back in ..

    5 months later My car started a squeal on cold start and knock when hot, found one cylinder valve clearance was out so i dropped the motor out. the squeal and knock was fan belt pulley.

    NOW TO THE MEAT OF IT...... While i was pulling it down i found (see photo) the ARP main bolts were holding up the Balance shaft off the crank!! It was still in the top dead center position its wasnt slipping, I was driving on this for 4 months..

    When i put together my engine i will measure and report as to how much needs to be removed from ARP Bolt
    Many want Power not many hold it long.........

    Pay more attention when you put things together the first time.
