Installation Guide
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 main bearing bores for proper size and out-of-round condition after 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.
