<<<<<430 cube small block mopar build>>>>>
Got some work done this weekend - the bearing clearances needed to be checked.
Got the rods cleaned up piece by piece in the parts washer and ready to be torqued to spec.
ARP lubed the threads and the shank of each bolt
ARP's stretch gauge confirmed the 75 ft/ lbs of torque was good for .004-.005 stretch on the bolts.
At 75 ft/lbs they were all reading between the .004 and .005 recommended
after they were torqued the ID was checked to spec - we had 7 of them 2 tenths large and one 3 tenths large - they were all very consistent and uniform rods.
