I was going to use arp main studs and dowel kit but now think maybe should just use new stock bolts.I am not sure I am using a 2.4 6 bolt block in my car.Are the 6 bolt 2.0 and 2.4 mainbolts the same. Should I reuse the stock 2.4 bolts the engine has only like 20,000 original miles on it or should I get brand new bolts and if brand new where do I get them dealership or are they just a common size?
And if common size is there a certain grade they need to be? thread pitch etc..?
 
I would not reuse the stock bolts that where in there. Either go with new factory ones or get a set of ARP's.

1. most engine rebuilds (I-4, V6, V8 etc) use stock bolts.
2. ARPs will most likely be cheaper and better than stock (cause they are studs not bolts)
3. just check for equal gap between threads (for yeilding).
