Topic: Torque # for my Rod?

It was on 5 it slipped 1 when I reached for the camera. Thanks Jay! You helped me out again!

Dounds like you are good to go.  Once you get one stretched with your gage, then you can use the torque wrench to see what that is in ft lbs.

Because there should be a dimple on the bolt end. Carrillo failed to do this for years......ARP always did. Now Carrillo does do it........my friend and I wrote to them many times. It wasn't until Pankle bought them.

Yeah, what he said! ^ Very difficult to do with consistency. These had a letter or something right in the center of the bolt. I almost center punched it.

Thanks again to everyone that posted!

I just mic the bolt, tighten it, mic it again, then remove it and mic it again.

Generally all of the bolts will be consistant. Once you figure the torque needed to stretch it, then you can just torque the rest.
