I have used ARP bolts on the big ends but don't know where they were purchased. I have seen some on Amazon though. Maybe Demon Tweaks?

This is time taken at the Sprint not necessary time worked.

Working on a ratio of just 7Hrs a day not including driving to the Sprint.
That equals to 68 days that doesn’t include weekends.

Sometimes the main bearing caps need slightly modification. The holes should be drilled 0,5mm larger because of not seating properly.
