Non Factory main bearing bolt torque.

RE: snailpower
I read your old thread after you directed me to it. I tried the same thing with Kevko about getting the bolt and on their website they show a proper bolt by ARP for a small block Chrysler to mount the windage tray or the oil pump pickup. Kevko didn't have it and after a couple of calls to ARP I came to the conclusion they didn't make one or they stopped making one. No stock small-block Mopar bolts new or used to be found anywhere. That weren't already in engines that is. Kevko mentioned a Ford cleveland bolt as did ARP. We found out this was a bolt that was supposed to be torqued to 100 foot pounds with ARP grease. My machinist said the torque on the bolt would be a lot different because of the recommended ARP grease. I just made the decision not to run the Cleveland bolt then I ran into the Mancini bolts. It probably would have worked fine. I'm glad you were able to get yours sorted out.

What a bummer! Yeah I recently tried to just get new magnum main bolts and those are out of production as well. I will definitely be hanging onto that main bolt in light of your post.

I found it weird that kevko doesn’t direct you that you need one in the oil pan information page. I would have just done a line hone with main studs from the get go had I known. I was already way past machine work stage when I went to install the pan.

I wonder if you could just run that arp and torque using oil and treat it as if it were a regular main bolt?
