Big end cap must be countersunk by 1mm and must be deburred. This is done because the H/D rod bolt has a radius under the head and countersinking the hole stops the cap cutting into the bolt. This must be done on a pillar drill turning the drill by hand only, as this prevents possible chattering of the cap. The cap must be clamped in a vice, but do not clamp the vice down, because the countersink bit has to centralise onto the big end cap hole.

When assembling the bolts, as of 2002, the manufacturers recommend only using ARP assembly lubricant as supplied, under the heads and on the threads and torque up to: (2.0L 8V/16V) - 31 lbft.

dont bother countersinkin the bolts all you need to do is grind down the lips alittle on your baffle plate. alot cheaper and easier way and it works :D
