Team Idris Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Most interesting. Objectively I'd say the threads were so weakened by the bolts that they couldn't even take studs anymore. Rather than the studs being at fault. But it does seem like the higher torque and the higher pull of a fine thread really pushes the later engines threads. Is anyone saying the 3.5 gives this problem? It could be as simple as metal grade between the two engines? As far as I heard, its okay to use the old torque settings. It'll still be pulled down harder. Nice one ARP on customer service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
