FAQ
- Q: Can Loctite be used for mounting?
- A: Yes, Loctite can be used for permanent mounting. Ensure torque sequences are complete before hardening.
- Q: Are the products emissions-related?
- A: These products are legal in California only for racing vehicles not for highway or off-road use.
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 the installation of the studs. Hone the
cylinder block if necessary. Main bores should always be align-honed using the
same fasteners and lubricant which will be installed, at the recommended
preload, during the final engine assembly.
