what do you need arp fasteners for?

Just remember the difference between ft in's and ft lbs... You should be golden.

 

ft in and ft lbs?

one is area the other is torque. lol

 

I just want to replace all the fasteners and the guy at the engine shop said not to use store bought junk. I figure ARP is the way to go but I will hit up Fastenal and see what they have in the M8 x 1.25 x 40mm variety. I actually found some sets of 5 ARP stainless steels bolts for under $20.00 so that is not too bad.

 

this is a sticky--5 pages about a stuck bolt
And What a bolt!
You should make a necklace out of it or sumthing and it has got to have a name--how about
"Ralph?"
NAME THIS BOLT!
I do see a happy happy joy dance coming?
God help us all if the long *** alternator bolt mess's up.

 

When it's all said and done I am deleting this thread Then I'm going to do a build thread that makes it look like I did it in a week.

 

HAHAHAH do it!

 

Just have this thread renamed 9krpmrx8's bolt breaking thread or 9krpmrx8 dicks around with an engine for 6 months thread

then make your 1 week long build thread

 

 

 

you know this is not my engine and I dont even live in the same state---but dang if I haven't found myself thinking about this stupid bolt at times.
I love this bolt. I will buy it from you when it is out. Its very special

Now you know I am just kidding around with you --right?

But I will buy the bolt. Aution it off to help with the assitance you needed to remove it?
It is the Godzille of LIM bolts--no doubt.
I will bid $5 for it!

 

That bolt is powder right now!!!

The engine shop was able to drill it out and install a threaded insert. I should have just taken it to them on day one but I am a stubborn jackass. It is ready to be picked up! Now who wants to help me go pick it up?

 

FYI I transported my engine in the back of an acura tl.

you can take out the pass seat and put it there as well.

 

if he had taken my offer to come down and help the other day it would probably be done already, but nooooooooooo ....

 

I actually just emailed you about that. I responded but never heard back from you. Let me know when you get it, I tried your other email address.

 

and I just drove by there but I had $3500 in fishing tournament door prizes

 

I wonder if it will fit in the trunk of a corolla

 

HITH did you get it in and out? Even a stripped kegger is close to 200 lbs, you know I was just kidding around when I posted all those insults, right?

 

Performance enhancing drugs

 

LOL I meant to say trunk... I'm not that baller :/
