If you are talking about the threads that hold in the head stud I once had a block that was good other than one corner stud hole having a crack that radiated into the liner opening. Cause the head to move around at that corner and resulted in head gasket problems. It was corrected with the Timesert, basically a threaded insert style of thread replacement.

How about a complete set of fasteners for the mains? Does ARP make anything?<br>
