Clan, threads in block are 14 threads per inch. Threads on nut end, are 20 threads per inch. Let's do the math, 20 divided by 14 = 1.42857. In other words, if one were to torque the studs 100 ft/lbs., it would be equal to torqueing the standard 7/16-14 bolt to 143 lbs ! A lot of oem iron blocks would crack ! Doug, can you put a straight edge, on the deck, over the crack, and send us a picture ?

Thanks for all the input here guys, great discussion. I'm still talking with ARP about the issue. I'll shoot some more photos of the block today and check it with a straight edge.

Can someone do me a favor and send me dimensions of a stock head bolt (overall and thread length)? Thanks!

The stock torque to yield bolts are 7/16th" x 14 TPI.
They come in two lengths 3.770" and 2.600" with threaded portions at 3.00" and 1.750" respectively.

I know this thread goes back a couple of years, but I was wondering what the final outcome of it was?
