Scat arp 2000 rod bolts

Using a torque wrench still stretches the bolts
So this makes no sense to me. Stretch is a measure of torque and vice versa.

I get that. Have you ever stretched a set of bolts and then measured the torque required to get the same stretch? It can be quite a difference. I can’t remember how much difference I saw but the rod bearings weren’t happy.

The uneven torque changes the load across the parting line.

I will see if I can find the webinar where Leib talked about stretching rod bolts.
