heavy duty studs for the 550
« on: September 13, 2010, 05:47:57 pm »
  I've got some.  So should I apply threadlocker before installing in the block?  I don't see any mention of it in the instructions.
Just call me Timmaaaaay!!!

This is from Precision Machining Inc.

Clean the threaded case holes with solvent and blow clear, dip the stud threads in oil, bottom the studs in the case then torque to 8 ft/lbs max.

Thanks Brent, those are the exact instructions I have too.  Mick thanks, I guess I missed that part of the Phaedrus build.
