Best Automotive Replacement Engine Main Bolts & Studs
Because ARP studs are manufactured to such exacting tolerances, you will note that gaskets and cylinder heads literally glide into position and are perfectly aligned, something that won't happen with inferior quality head studs. ARP studs are thread rolled after heat treat, which gives them about 1000 Percent (that's ten times) better fatigue strength than those studs that are threaded prior to heat treat. This procedure (done only to the shorter studs) more equalizes the "stretch" of both studs, which makes for a more consistent clamping force and one that compensates for head gasket compression when the cylinder heads are installed. Thread Rolled After Heat Treat, Which Gives Them About Ten Times Better Fatigue Strength Than Those Studs That Are Threaded Prior To Heat Treat.

In particular the fitment of the pump all the way on the crank was very difficult to achieve, especially hanging upside down from the top of the radiator. My pump WOULD NOT PRIME with simply cranking the engine with the crank sensor disconnected. I did pre-oil pump, but perhaps packing with assembly lube might have been better."

I used a heat gun to soften the assembly up a little and massaged it to get it to fit a lot better and close to being correct as it was designed for. Some times they go "Offshore" for a while and then bring the jobs back home when it obviously doesn't work out when the quality goes way down and they start losing customers and their bottom line!!!! And yes I did replace the lower intake manifold gasket with the Magnum premium set & the Dorman Heater hose aluminum fittings , they were perfect.... Goodluck..."
"I have installed several thousand intakes over the last 35 years, many hundred of them Dorman brand."
"BEFORE you put the plenum on the engine take some time to install this vacuum neck. Be careful as you torque it down so the bolt doesn't sit on top of the ridge around the hole & you break it."
"EVERY SINGLE ONE of them has developed leaks in the gasket around the manifold... and each time one goes out, we replace it with a Dorman 615-180 intake. Install a new Dorman intake, which comes with the new gasket as well as all of the various parts you'll need to replace it, and be done with the problem permanently."
"Then that was not enough the new intake was so much thicker which is good but not when i had to hacksaw part of my alternator bracket off to get it to seat with out forcing the the intake underneath the bracket which would ruin my new gasket so after i did that the intake would sit right on the lower intake with no interference after wasting a good share of the day i got it installed so far so good Dorman i think you can design better than this."
