Tension bolts spec
Hey Guys,
I while back I read a post about torquing the tension bolt to a higher spec than factory
setting. I believe it was Pettit Racing that did it, I did the search but did come up with anything. I just like to reread the post and see what are the pros and cons. If you guys have any info, please send me the link.
Thanks, Jay

Built Not Bought

I just did this search a few days ago b/c mine are all leaking. The spec was 85lbs for high performance engines built by a company that had rotory in the name. can't remember what link it was under the search.
There were a few others that torqued to different amounts above the normal 26-30lb range, I loosened all mine in order, and then torqued to 40lb, i haven't finished putting it back together yet or pressure tested so i'm not sure if it fixed it yet.

Kyle, I knew you would chime in with some useful answers. How's your back treating you? Did you get your car running?
I blew my water seals because the stupid plastic radiator fans broke off from the fan motor. The temp spiked and it was all over before I could pull over.
