ATTENTION: We recommend the installation of this part be done by a
trained professional GM technician. PPE will not accept liability for damage
resulting from incorrect assembly.
These instructions are not intended as a service or overhaul manual. These
instructions are intended to facilitate the modification of non-factory parts
installation by a trained professional.
NOTE: Tolerances will change when changing from factory to high-strength fasteners. It will be necessary to check the main bearing bores for proper size and out-of-round condition after installation of the studs. Hone the cylinder block if necessary.
