Stop in for a cup of coffee

I might have missed a rod bolt/nut torque one time. In a 460 boat engine. All I know, it threw a rod on breakin. Well, not actually threw a rod, just a rod knock.... Do not know why....Only failure I ever had.....Of course in a boat!! PITA to take back out......


That's why when I built Eddie's engine with him, one of us would torque the rod or main, then the other would go right behind and double check...

By the time we were done, each nut and bolt had been checked 6 times at least (Three passes each) and there would be no question that we didn't get one....
