Reasonable may not be the correct word. The kit will retail for $700. I got it for about $660 plus shipping through AR Fab. I doubt it will be necessary unless you are running huge horsepower. Defining huge horsepower as over 600 HP on a 4 cylinder and probably much more on the EG33.

Basically howard has broken down a lot of motors after building them. He noticed friction on the block halves when running big HP on the 4 cyl motor. Bearings went. The bolts seem to raise this threashold considerably. He also had a lot more experience to share with me, which I will try to write up on some time again.
