ARP Main Stud set w/ windage tray - same 'ol problem
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 issue with ARP since at least early 2000's and maybe since the 1990s, as one member said.
Of course, it's no huge problem, just cut the odd one down. The main question though is why haven't they fixed such an easy issue, when it's been told to them countless times over at least 15 years. It would be a zero effort fix. And not even any note inside the box saying some modification will be needed.
I see though that they have included two 12 point nuts for use under the oil pump, to aid in clearance of the base of the pump. So they have obviously listened to people on one issue but have not changed the other one.
