Stock bolts save $200 or more, but add 2 hours to the install time. I went with stock bolts and wpc treated stock bearings and with pan gasket spent about $550.

Finally got to drive the car today. Wow, feel like I'm back with 2,000 miles on a new car! Drivetrain is nice and tight again after new mounts, and motor has never felt this healthy. Temp never gets to 210 anymore, almost two needle widths away!

Very interesting on the temps. Wonder if the reduced friction (other causes of reduced temps?) will translate into any change in your average MPG.

I would assume it is, there is zero noise on the bottom end anymore. After 250 miles (took a road trip tonight) I've noticed a .75 mpg increase. Over 1000 miles I usually average 20.3MPG, will keep track and report back.
