The ARP hardware provides a more correct bearing eccentricity and bearing crush in comparison to the OEM bolts, which don't provide the proper clamp load for radial pressure between bearing/rod; this very fact is constantly being ignored repeatedly.

Happy to say Malek will be doing my rod bearings on my car soon
