Thanks everyone for all the helpful responses!!! One thing i forgot to mention is that i bought a set of 340 rods that had been balanced and had ARP studs in the off Ebay, when i got them i looked at the caps stamps and a few i couldnt make out a numbers so i kept them on the rod they were on when they arrived to me. I havent tried the plastigauge, i could turn the crank over using my hand when it was torqued to spec so i figured it was acceptable?
Im going to try to loosen some of the caps like mentioned and start from there. How many times can you torque and retorque cap/main bearings before you need another set?
Thanks a million!
Jake
