some things do go right

I put the pistons in the 440 today. They were spec'd to come up to within .019" of the deck.

Much to my surprise, they are even a little closer than that. :D .016"

The way it has seemed to be going, I figured for sure they would be down about .030"

I do have a question though.....


What is the torque spec on arp rod bolts for a big block (using the arp moly lube)

I seem to have misplaced my spec sheet, and I don't have a stretch gauge :shock:

What is the torque spec on arp rod bolts for a big block (using the arp moly lube)

Take a look on ARP's web site, the specs for all their fasteners are on there.

I found a chart there, but none of the numbers match the number for the kit. Seems to be individual numbers.

I'll look again.

Here's a chart:

That one is broken down by the fastener size and tensile strength.

Have a look at this one, too:

Thanks! 8)

I find that site alittle crappy to navigate.
It probably doesn't help, that I'm at work, and here I only hsvr "dial up"

Dial up sucks! :x
