The recess for the factory bolt isn't large enough for the ARP bolt...it needs to be opened up to fit flush, if you will. Reason why I just went with L32 rods and factory GM TTY bolts...didn't want to **** with it.
Thanks...I'll hit up my machinist friend.

I'm going to do it once and do it right...once again, I need to call my friend
