Here's something people do not know about ARP. All their material is shipped temp controlled. That means it is shipped in a refrigerated trailer to stop rust from even getting started. I hauled many loads into that place.

@@ivanjimenez8868 believe it or not, some ARP bolts are cheaper and stronger than stock gm bolts. Only exception is like crank bolts and some others.

I would highly recommend using thread chasers instead of using taps. Taps will remove some metal and sharpen the edge of the threads which make them weaker. Thread chase full sets are inexpensive and last a long time when uses properly. Taps are for cutting not cleaning.

Love when a stroker video gets turned into one long ARP advertisement.

That Tech tip on the studs changing main bore roundness was really interesting. Learn something new everyday!

I have nothing but good things to say of ARP. I've seen many engines detonate, and the ones with ARP hardware were still torqued to the part.

How about just clamp that slide hammer to the outer edges of the cap where nothing touches it anyways and not drilling a hole in the cap that to me could make a weak spot? Not sure just a random thought.

I didn't know Joe Mondelo had passed away 10 years ago. RIP to the Oldsmobile guru. Go to the video done on him building a 455 for the boys. It was 2014 when this LQ4 video was made. It looks like a fun project, looking forward to the next episodes.

I like ARP, if I could I'd even use ARP bolts to hold my lawnmower wheels on! Being the best is great, but it's something else when you are the best because of the hard work and all the effort that makes ARP the Best bolts available! The only thing better than a ARP bolt, is a bigger ARP bolt! LOVE the ARP FASTENERS! My 385 stroker has ARP main studs, head studs, rod bolts, and even intake bolts! ( I had a extra head stud, used it to hold the oil pump on! ) And ARP rocker studs!! #1 ARP!

ARP hardware is a phenomenal product.

Just wondering about that trick with the main caps , isn't drilling a hole in the smallest part of the main cap introducing a possible failure point in the weakest point of the part? I've never heard of one breaking, but at big numbers and pressures you can see nowadays, just curious...

Ok, most people making a video or TV show would just show one maybe two things to help oil flow but if you dont inspect and cover each and every path doing one or two things won't help much so shout out to these guys here showing how it done for real!

Am using a meling high volume pump on my lm7 5.3 swap on cold start up 75lbs, absolutely the best equipment to use in such a vital area

didn't watch the video because i thought it was one thing an turned out to be go buy bunch of summit parts,having said that once you get a block clean first thing you do is go over it for casting flash an stuff, if you touch the pistons use a scale an weigh them get them the same an that goes for any rotating parts , chevy rods have balancing meat on them to even them out um stuff like that , longer you do it more you pick up like anything really

I hope ARP got their packaging figured out or I should say who puts the bolts in the package....I have 4 sets of Ford FE intake manifold bolt sets that are wrong and finally the 5th one was right after getting ahold of them and having to send pictures to them to prove that they had them wrong

Awesome video. Sorry for asking if it was said. --zero time in my life-- is there a recipe and price for this build on line???

Couldn't get the price for the crankshaft, 24 tooth. Seen the compony but no quick jump to find the price like the other parts. Great video guys.

Look up Iron Animal build. They just renamed this video for some reason.

My understanding of flexing metal it seems like by doing your line honing after you tore it down you made one side bigger that it needed to be because only one side deflected because of the extra pressure I used a half thousandths bearing and changes the gap and I haven't had any problems with my 408 over the past 3 years of service

If you are going to have studs put in....you should have it done when you have the block prepped in the first place. No need to have it done again afterwards..same goes for deburring the bottom of the cylinders. .BTW....there is no way in hell I am going to drill/tap a hole in a main cap and make it weak.

Have you ever tested ARP fasteners? How do you know they are any good? I worked in aerospace. Fasteners on planes and spacecraft are carefully specified and tested. Do not know any ARP bolts used in aerospace. They are only used in cars where if they fail, it is no big deal.

Got alot of great info out of this, one thing i did wonder though is (even though you gently used the oil inpregnated file) would that have any impact to the balance of the rotating assembly?

WHICH LS PARTS are BEST swappable from size to size betwen the main 3 sizes; 4.8, 5.3 & 6.0?? LIKE 4.8L pistons will fit a 5.3 directly and increase compression either .5 or 1.0 SO about 9.4 to 10.4 correct? Which crank in a 5.3 L will make it a stroker? only specific stroker crank or will 6.0 L crank make it a stroker for example? WHY are 862 heads so desireable? cuz they flow better AND raise compression? can they be combined with 4.8 flattop pistons and still run on 87 octane?

Can an aluminum block LS1 and/or LS2 be stroked to 410ci?
