Help - Engine Builder question FSI BPY

Anybody run across this issue?

I am having forged rebuild done and using ARP bolt kits.
2008 FSI BPY block right out of my car.

Ordered the ARP main stud kit - ARP 204-5408 verified from ARP catalog
Machinist is ready for line bore of mains and says studs are wrong thread
I order a second kit from a different vendor - same issue verified by my assembler this time

The main bolts are 10x1.5, these ARP studs have a finer pitch. ARP only makes one main stud kit for TFSI/FSI VW 4cyl motors.

Anybody ever run in to this issue...?

Thanks in advance.

Never had that issue but I have ARP mains from my FSI I could sell you

Thanks for the offer. I got to the bottom of it. ARP had a packaging problem back in 2012 (box dated 2012). As soon as I read packaging date to them they knew what the problem was. They are sending me out a new set to arrive tomorrow they are about 60 miles from me.

Glad to hear it got sorted out
