Bolt torque discussion
I did some rod bolt torquing today and that is where I throw everything I think about bolts out the window. Now we go by the book. Here was my dilemma. I bought a used set of Crower Rods and assembly. No other marketing on the rods bolts other than Crower so I measured the bolts and that are around 1.800 long- 7/16. The specksheat says 65 pounds .004-.006 stretch with 20-50 oil. The next bolt down calls for 75 foot pounds .005-.007 stretch with their lube. I decide on aiming for a hair over .005 with 20-50 oil. 72 foot pounds is my number for this build.
