The main caps secure the bearings that hold your crankshaft in place. Different engine designs (SBF, BBF, SBC, BBC, LS, Coyote, etc.) use different quantities of main caps, and those caps are held down by main bearing cap bolts. In addition, 2-bolt main caps are common, but 4-bolt mains and 6-bolt mains may be used in high-powered engines for extra strength. Whether you need complete sets of studs and cross-bolts for a new engine build, or just partial sets for upgrades and repairs, you can find the main cap fasteners you need at Summit Racing Equipment.

PRW Main Cap Side Bolts uses premium grade Custom 4135 Steel rated at "aircraft" quality. Their side bolts are then specially heat-treated to 180,000 psi. This heat-treating procedure allows for total heat penetration which results in a stronger, more superior stud compared to lesser quality studs from other manufacturers. PRW main cap side bolts are then centerless ground after being heat treated and then thread rolled which assures better fatigue strength than having this process done before heat treatment. This manufacturing process may cost more to do but the results are well worth the extra effort.
