Default ARP main bearing bolts

Has anyone had any trouble using these lately? I have in the past but the ones i just got apart from being 1/4 inch too long( no biggie) the threaded part bottoms out in the block way before contacting the washer. They are 1/2-13 x3. Im not keen on removing threads from the block in order to get the bolt to seat. Btw its a 42-48 block. Thanks

Why do you think you need ARP bolts there instead of the stock studs?

Stock studs will work up to horsepower levels you would have to mortgage your house to afford..

This is the only question you asked, to that I say no.

Neither did you. I am curious as to what is causing this need.
