Hello,

I'm in the process of rebuilding my r32 rb26dett. I have already ordered ARP Head Studs and Con-Rod Bolts. I will also be ordering new OEM Cam Studs (just because 2 of the original ones got seized in the cam caps). Besides that what should I order? I have read not to change the OEM Main Bolts as they are far more then will ever be needed. Is there any other bolts/studs that are recommend to be changed?

Thanks,
Mitch

PS: I will be running around 500whp.

New bolts on cambelt idler / tensioner is a good idea. There have been a few incidents where they have snapped, caused the timingbelt to snap, and bent valves etc etc.

Perhaps measure the mainpulley bolt lenght, if its streched to far, replace it.

How do you check the original length?

Hi mate,
Change the oil pump. I'm in the process of tearing my engine down due to the oil pump breaking. water pump is another good idea.

Yea, everything is getting changed (pistons, rods, crank, oil pump, water pump, harmonic damper, etc....). Like my title says I'm just unsure of which bolts/studs need to be changed.
