96 4.0 Engine Girdle
Hey all, I have been attempting to research what to do about the engine girdle. I guess the main question is really around the main bolts and if they can be re used in a build. I did not see where ARP offered a main bolt that would accept the girdle, i have seen discussions around the direction to go with this but do not think i have seen an agreed upon answer. If i want to use the girdle to be safe is it ok to re use my main bolts? Or is it better to have the ARP Bolts and for go the girdle all together. Thanks for any additional opinions on this or pointing me in the direction of better answers.

You can reuse your original main bolts. It's the rod bolts that you should preferably replace with ARP 112-6001 units.
At the top end, you'll also need to replace the head bolts if the original units have already been reused once.

I have both OEM and ARP head bolts in stock if that will be a help.
