Thank you, gentlemen! Glad you found it helpful.

The ARP fasteners are so consistent that you can use torque in place of stretch on the rod bolts. Every time we've cross-checked torque and stretch, they have been right in range. Last updates is the car is running fine up in the Toronto area. |

I know the 574 is supposed to cure only in anaerobic conditions... But when I took my original case apart, there was rock hard glue internally along the seem lines internally in some spots. I can only assume thAt was Porsche original 574. Ever seen that? I assume 574 under quarts of oil is technically, anaerobic... Great videos... |
Correct -- the factory used 574 and when submerged in oil it is in an anaerobic environment and cures.
The only reason we can do torque-only on a rod bolt is because it is ARP and highly consistent. We've never had one end up out of tolerance when checking stretch. We also have the Snap-On torque wrenches calibrated periodically. Our machine shop does check the rods' center-to-center lengths for consistency, and verifies both ends are honed completely parallel prior to balancing. |

It would have to be very small to make it through the oil pump's strainer.
From there it would be sucked up by the scavenge side of the pump, then off to the thermostat and possibly get lodged in the front oil cooler, otherwise back to the oil tank's filter. |
This is awesome.!
Great to see the progress.! Cool step by step pictures.! |
