I think this thread would get a lot more traction in the engine rebuilding forum. This has been beaten to death over there.

Several would not click the torque wrench at 25 ft lbs bc they pulled while the car was at operating temperature.
But there are different degrees of pulled. 60 pounds for a few minutes cold would not hurt the stud but it will find the bad threaded case openings and did. My test given the situation was sound. "You had to be there"
This is a very important subject Jonny042 we need to protect our buddies so their hard work is ruined over an oversight by ARP. I'm not looking for any notoriety lol.
