I was trying to replace my rod bolts with ARP bolts. The ARP bolt head is a teensy bit larger than the stock bolts and I cannot get the head to seat down on the proper surface. Tried tapping with light hammer and tightening nut. I am not going to grind the head of the bolt, use a 3 lb hammer, or fully torque the nut. I'll stick with the stock bolts instead. Any suggestions?
Part II. The rods have an oil hole in the small end offset to one side. I assume they have to be oriented in a specific direction. The directions in the book (shown below) make no sense to me. Can some one give me better directions?
Thanks
