Yes, defiantly- all my engines get ARP studs. But this only helps. Many other brand engines have the same problems with only 4 bolts per cyl. Some engines have kits to add more bolts, some are iron blocks so larger studs can be used, and many engines just come with 5 or 6 bolts per… the NSX engine doesn’t benefit from any of these choices. On hi hp boosted engines I O-ring the blocks now, and T-sleeve to eliminate the flex that adds to the problem. I still think heat is a large contributor so hopefully with the new R&D I can keep everything together. I can tell you shortly if things work out- It should be on the track in the next month with 700 RWHP, I’m trying to make the February VIR Honda Challenge event. It’s about time we show the other Honda cars that the NSX is #1.
