I put ARP's in mine, I didnt have any collars or anything. i pulled them out one at a time, and put a ARP in its placed. I think I had to torque mine down to something like 25, then back off, repeat, then back off, then tighten them down. I dont remember the torque specs though. I never removed my caps or anything, and the bolts on the LSx motors dont have to be knocked out, they are bolts, not studs like the SB chevys have
