The spec for ARP mains (10mm 190,000psi stud) is 60 lb/ft which is only 75% or the yield strength, they could try going a little more than 60 lb/ft to see if that helps. Also if they installed arps they should have line honed the block. If I have to make a piece like that I would integrate a windige tray into it.

They were referring to stock main bolts at this point... Looks like a piece worth looking into though!
