I just guess ARP don't know anything about fasteners then.

It's not my engine, so I couldn't give a flying fuck what you put in it, I was just attempting to prevent heart-ache, as I know Chris could do without dodgy advice. How many Cossie engines have you fitted these to then, and how long have you then kept them afterwards?
You last comment is a bit like asking me about Cometic Cosworth head gaskets, you might not like the answer
. Both these companies do good products, but I would not fit ARP head bolts or a Cometic head gasket to a Cosworth.....
However, what does Tony know - he's just some internet twat
