#125845, "2.4L main stud information" May-29-09 04:17 PM by CODE4
Realizing that ARP does not make a main stud kit for the 2.4L block (weird) I got crack-a-lackin on filling out there stud application chart. Spoke with Modern Performance and they said they always re-use the OEM main bolts. A few posts over @neons.org mention that guys run the ARP kit 141-5801 for the 2.0 however there is not 100% thread engagement by the nut. Their solution? Back the stud out a thread or two from the block.
OEM: 2.0 bedplate bolts: M8 x 1.25 x 60 M11 x 1.50 x 65
OEM: 2.4 bedplate bolts: M8 x 1.25 x 70 M11 x 1.50 x 75
After a couple phone conversations with Paul @ARP (very helpful guy) I ordered a set of studs/washers/nuts a la carte.
