Yeah, it's one of those little details that's often over looked. There are so many of these things to pay attention to and get right. I think about all the details and specs I have in my head that I can spout off at any time, makes you realize how involved you get into this stuff.
Yeah, the Torco lube is good but I think the Permatex stuff is basically the same and costs less.
In other news, I ordered the rod bolts last night. I had to close my eyes when I confirmed the payment, that was tough to swallow. Guarantee the bolts I have now are fine and I could have used them for years but better safe than sorry. The one little thread that gives way at the wrong time could be expensive. It will be peace of mind when I am going down the track at 6,500 rpm.
