The ARP bolts that fit which are really a BMC replacement (you get 6
in a kit) are slightly too long so the end needs to be ground off,
especially if you do not use a washer under the head. We didn't use
washers with those - if you DO use a washer you want something
hardened. Having the washer yield because it's soft is a bad thing.
I'm not sure if the bolts sold by Moss are the BMC part or a slightly
shorter one which doesn't require grinding. The main thing is to
check that the engine still turns freely after the bolt is fully installed.
Another option is to go up a size in bolt hole (from 3/8 to 7/16"),
then you can use a Ford Flywheel ARP bolt that has a giant 12 point
head - like 3/4". That's what I'm currently running. Probably too
late for that now though.
