Yeap, I got it. Dang it

I found doing stretch vs. torque that the bolts were not quite into the recommended stretch region. But I suspect the folks at ARP know that 40 lbs, used with their super duper lube, gets you close enough.

If you wanna do it again for the experience, go for it. But probably not necessary.

I put your tools away is a safe spot

Out of site out of mind :eek:

Yeah will do again for safe measure :cool: need to learn the proper way

Ya, if you could learn the right way, that would be even better for when you come do mine. :D

I love your "clean room". Is your wife out of town?

Yea, good idea to use the stretch gauge. If you lube the threads and if there is not problem with the threads and if there is no dirt on the threads and if the bolts are all up to spec and if your torque wrench is calibrated, then the stretch will be in spec when torqued.

Yeah she ain't too happy but she understands :cool:

That's an affirmative, will use stretch gauge to verify torque settings !

Surprising, for a POS HF unit, but it wasn't typically cheaply priced :eek:

Great thread Jim. And you're just in time for spring, at least if you were up here in snowy Canada.
