I just saw your nasty reply from 2 years ago (a reply you made three years after the last post! Anyone who comes along three years later to post such unwarranted vindictive remarks on a PUBLIC forum is a sad and miserable loser indeed. In fact I'm surprised that a moderator didn't remove it...

That's very interesting, I sort of assumed that this set in the OP was a one-of thing. I watched a set of videos about the whole ARP process - a young lady was in there interviewing and asking questions about the machines and processes. Mainly talking to a guy that looked like the workshop...

haha I hadn't considered that; oh yeah, that would light a fire under a LOT of people.

Yes I wrote that in the first post, second paragraph. I know it's no big drama, but really, for such a large well known company as ARP to continue to make this error after at least 15 years, probably more, and after many people have probably told them, points to something lacking somewhere in...

Yes they get a small tick for that I suppose. I looked through previous posts from 2015 and someone quoted the Pn# as 140-5501. It's now 240-5501. Maybe that is reflecting their change in set contents.

I just received my ARP Main stud set for Windage tray (ARP # 240-5501). And see that they have got their numbers wrong and have 5 studs for windage tray and 5 normal, when it should be 4 and 6. I looked through this forum and I see that there is a lot of info on this and has been an ongoing...

Yes I know I'm a just a bit late with this reply... My engine machine shop said something similar: "1/2" Main bolts? ... They'll hold the Queen Mary!!" (the Queen Mary being a large passenger ocean liner). I have no problem in confidence in those stock main bolts. That's fine if you know...

Cley, you are really fortunate that the rod went where it did - only a pan to replace. A few degrees up and the block would have been ruined. You say you used a HV oil pump but I assume still using the standard capacity pan? I have some understanding that this is not wise - often the pump...

Yes, a lot of people neglect that small space between the top ring and the top of the piston. The only way to work your engine out accurately is measure everything on your own engine yourself, with cc'ing equipment or make up your own stuff like I have. Most people won't have a pipette or...

Both - they said around 30 Aug they will get them & ship them - maybe they have to manufacture them yet, I don't know for sure. Seems like a bargain because this sale has rings included for exactly the same price as Summit has the standard bore JE SRP pistons advertised for without rings ...

I would guess that the values in that column with no -ve or +ve can be taken as positive. Since the dome or dish/reliefs modify the crown, I think we can safely say by now that if it's adding to the crown volume it's a positive value and taking away volume then it will be negative. These...

Summit has these for that same price so maybe that's a normal price but they don't have them in 030 over. Will have to see if they can order them Edit: One and a half hours later, I have called up Summit and they did a special order SRP Forged Flat top for me from the manufacturer - piston...

Just missed out on a bargain here, see below picture. JE Pistons (SRP) Flat top with the 5cc valve reliefs in the size I need 4.070 from PitStopUSA in Idaho, half price at US$546! But they don't ship internationally and they don't accept payment from outside USA either. Also I called them up...

That's interesting because I spoke to DSS as well as UEM (who make the KB HyperEutectics) and both gave me almost identical weights which are different from yours but arrive at the same weight (720 +/- 3g). They told me around 588g for the piston and 131g for the pin. They said that the piston...

Thnks, That'a also interesting, I didnt realise that but I would have noticed sooner or later when ordering rings. Well that's definitely made my mind up for the DSS pistons.
