Bolt torque discussion

Thanks for the reply. I posted this thread as a carryover from another thread where there was indeed plenty of disagreements on the torque when using studs.
Rather than hijack the other threads and out of courtesy I started this thread. Eg arp recommends a stud torque of 140 lbs with oil for 1/2 inch studs 45 lbs higher than stock.

You have to be careful on what type of oil that you put on them... different oils have different lubrication properties and can affect the clamp load for a particular torque...

80% of the torque value is influenced by the friction of the fastener....
