N.Ring,
Fitted ARP big end bolts 2 my own VI , although basically straightforward there r a couple of potential problems 4 the unwary.
Installing these without a 2 or 4 post lift wud not b advisable.
The downpipe , sump and various other bits and pieces require removal , the sump is attached with special sealing compound , no gasket , and requires care 2 remove without damage.
The factory bigend bolts r a drive fit in the conrod , so require drifting out , so the conrod has 2 b supported against the cylinder block with a suitable piece of wood or hard plastic dowel.
The ARP bolts will require careful pulling into the rod with a slide hammer as they r an interference fit , but they must b pulled in square as the head that rests against the rod fits in a particular position.
The torque settings 4 the bolts r given in the install notes packed with them , together with a special assembly lube.
The sump will require resealing with a special Loctite product at about £15 per tube. This needs 2 cure 4 at least 12 hours.
If u feel confident with yr skill level go 4 it , but consider that if 1 fails , goodbye engine
