I'm not 100% sure that the rod bolts are stock. Everything else ARP that I have ever used has said ARP on the end of the bolt and on the nut. are rod bolts the same way, if not, how can I tell if they are stock without removing the rod from the shortblock?

RE: I got ripped off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes the cam can be but u still got had
ORIGINAL: bdwjdw
I had my engine built about a month ago and today I noticed that I had them put the wrong timing cover on my motor. When I went to swap the covers out, I lifted off the oil pan I discovered that the ARP main studs and rod bolts that I paid for were not there, they reused the stock ones. And if that wan't enough, they reused my E303 cam when I paid for a different cam that my engine builder suggested. Well I called about the cam ( before I figured out that my ARP bolts were not there) and he said that he had it reground?? Can you regrind a camtoget more lift and duration, a larger cam???

You have the right to have your old automotive parts back, In fact, I double bag em and put in the trunk everytime I can, keeps the honestly there.
