Installed ARP studs. Should we align bore??
Ok engine rebuilders and machinists I have a question for you. I'm rebuilding a engine for a buddy. It's not a Mopar but the principal will be the same. It's a 454 Chevy going into a 1 ton 4wd. He installed a set of ARP main studs and the local machine shop says theres no need to align bore it. In the past I've always heard if you install studs you should align bore one. What's everybody's opinion and reasoning on this?
Thanks guys.
