Anyone else used ARP stainless fastener kit?
I'm building up my 460 and bought the ARP 12-pt stainless engine fastener kit.
The pieces are beautiful, but:
1. Oil pan needs nineteen 1/4" bolts, only shipped eighteen.
2. Fuel pump bolts needs 5/16", shipped 3/8".
3. Intake needs sixteen bolts, only shipped fourteen.
It killed me to see progress and then run into those snags. The kit was around $180 so I went back to where I bought it and asked if there is anything he could do - communicate with ARP about getting my bolts I needed at no cost since I paid for a kit. Apparently there is no guarantee in ARP kits, so I have to look at buying what I need.
I know I didn't lose any bolts because the bolts come shrink wrapped next to the part label and you can count the indents.
Has anyone else used an ARP kit with the same results?
*** I ran into this a few weeks ago so my number reference may not be exact.
