Hi ALL,
Topdad,
Apologies I misread you r earlier post, mixing up V8 and guys pics in my head
Yes it can pe problematic getting the pin holes to line up, sometimes you can over come this by swopping nuts around
On that point, were not the torque settings for early engines less than later ones ???
Richard.
Did they also tell you the dimensions for the stretched bolt when tightened?
Yes, I got instructions with the bolts I bought, also instructions about cycling the bolt torques a couple of times ,
measure, tighten - measure stretch, loosen, measure again !!
so the stretch is measured, and also that the bolt returns to its original length when loosened
Regards
John
