Re: [Chevelle-List] I'm Back and did I miss this page.
I had that problem also with ARP main bearing studs and also with ARP head bolts on my 427. The headers didn't fit because the lower head bolts stuck up too high with the washers. I hate the 1/2 socket head of the ARP head bolts that don't look close to stock size. I don't use any ARP bolts anymore except for rod bolts - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We used a shorter nut and touched the pump housing with a grinder and WHALLA OIL PRESSURE!

RE: [Chevelle-List] I'm Back and did I miss this page.
Been There Done That..I fortunately checked for clearance on my BBC and could not see light between the stud and pump. I ground off enough oil pump casting..more than you would think.. so I could see daylight. I've also seen hardened oil pump driveshafts that have sleeves thicker than others. This is another area to check for clearance. Walt >= Original Message From [EMAIL PROTECTED] = >I have a hell of a story to tell.
