I am thinking I am just going to go with new bolts for the mains, is Cummins the only place to get them for a CR motor? I am not going to spend 1K for a girdle and if I put studs in the mains I will have to machine the stock stiffener plate. Any Ideas? Cummins wants $12.50 each for the bolts which puts them up there in the same price range as the arp studs.
 
I got a set of 24v bolts......


Why do you need to machine the stiffener? I got the same one in my 24v and it fit just fine around the studs.
 
I thought that the studs were longer and would hit the plate. The Stud and nut is taller than the head of a bolt and it looks like it will hit. Maybe I am wrong.
 
PM site sponsor Snedge of MUMAU Diesel. Best prices you can find and excellent service.
 
you can releave the stock plate , and the studs will work, if you change the fastners on the mains you will need to dust the mains in a line hone .
 
Why do the mains need to be honed with studs, and not with bolts?

It is not necessarily needed but for the anal individual then it is needed. I am running studs, did not do the hone and everything is fine and will be fine. IMHO, if the caps were splayed then I would have honed them.
