Q&A

What does this main bolt kit fit?
This kit is designed for Chevrolet Gen I Small Block engines equipped with 4-bolt main caps and large journal crankshafts, including many 327, 350, and 400 applications.

What is a main bolt kit?
A main bolt kit provides the fasteners used to secure the crankshaft main bearing caps to the engine block.

Why replace main bolts during a rebuild?
Replacing main cap hardware during an engine rebuild helps ensure proper clamping force, reliable main bearing cap retention, and long-term durability.

What does "large journal" mean?
Large journal Small Block Chevy engines use larger crankshaft main journal diameters than earlier small journal engines. Main cap hardware must match the block and crankshaft design.

The hardware is manufactured from premium 35 chromoly steel and features rolled threads, a black oxide finish, and protective oil coating for durability and corrosion resistance.

What is the difference between 2-bolt and 4-bolt main engines?
A 4-bolt main engine uses four fasteners per main bearing cap rather than two, providing additional cap retention and support in higher-performance applications.

Can these be used in racing applications?
Yes. This SBC main bolt kit is suitable for performance street, marine, drag racing, and other high-performance engine builds requiring dependable main cap fasteners.
