ARP rodbolt torque specs
hello!
can anyone tell me what torque I should use for the arp rodbolts for a FE engine?
the instructions go as far as telling to prestretch the bolts with 50 lbs/ft (doing that 3 times in order to get the desired stretch)
but what I don't see, is the final torque-level...is this 50 lbs/ft also?
I know it isn't as much as the level, used in the books with the standard fomoco bolts...but 50 seems a little on the low side?!
ow...using the arplube and the 190.000 PSI type bolts....Going sideways through a bend isn't considered normal or even sane, so that's the way I like it!
".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
