I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I bought ARP Main Studs for a Miata, and they're too tall, causing an interference issue with the MBSP. I had to drill holes in the MBSP to clearance the studs and let them protrude through so that the MBSP would sit flat on the block and main bearing caps.
ARP main stud interference
What it causes
drilled holes in MBSP and it sits flat and the bolt holes now line up.
Anyone else ever had an issue like this? I'm building a 93 protege BP05. The MBSP has BP01 stamped on it, and the main studs were for a Miata BP. Yes, I did put the studs in the block until they bottomed out.
Very sorry about the bad pics, my camera lens is scratched up pretty bad, I'm trying to fix that too..
