Windage Tray Stud kit install Q's

The studs are replacing the bolts, therefore torque to the same specs. Use the oil, not locktite. You sure wouldn't want to tighten them and then back them out 3/4 turn! Bolts are engineered to stretch the threads at a particular torque to lock them in place. If Miloden says 85 ft.# that's what I would use. If I were using the ARP's, I would torque to ARP specs. Can you say that your torque wrench is right on the money? Or that the original installer of the main bolts had his wrench right on the money?

Also, fwiw - I was advised to use a hardened flat washer between the windage tray and the stud for clearance issues.
