Found some correct size roller bearings for the throttle shaft on the inlet manifold, smoother than the original brass bushings

Any idea what the "ARS" suffix indicates? I'm finding HK1012 bearings but not necessarily with the ARS suffix.

Edit: mostly have it figured out - R - Ring with roller set. S - Roll body of stainless steel. Don't know what the "A" is?

Was trying to install a head on an R16 engine today only to find that the ARP studs wouldn't fit. Studs that I had used on another engine....
One of the studs wouldn't even fit in the head bolt hole....??
I guess it turns out that the aluminum around the bolt holes collapses somewhat over the years.
Went to my local friendly machine shop and borrowed a couple of reamers. The studs measured at .43386"
Not sure what the stock holes measure, but I reamed them out to ~.464" which seemed to be pretty close to stock as it took out a bunch at the top and bottom of the hole, and next to nothing in the rest of it on most of the holes. A couple of them was a bit of work to push the reamer through the whole thing.
Bolted up fine to the block after.
Apparently ~.030" larger than the bolt/stud is a good place to start.

Finally got the new soft top installed, that I bought through Dean a couple years ago. Dave's Upholstery in Lockport NY. He had never done one, neither had his brother who had been doing this for over 39 years.
Took 11 days. Did great job. Even put in cables and such.

So that’s what clean transparent windows look like. Neat.

New water pump, thermostat mount, temp senses, thermostat on my 70 SPL with a U20.

I cracked the thermostat mount trying. To remove the defective temp sensor. Thanks to Don at Rising Sun Racing for the quick shipment after the really bad storm there
