Re: so I was putting my motor back togheter.....
 

I torque them to 70 ft/lbs and used them for a couple of builds.

^^ LOL.... Brian Fellows.... That's crazy!



As someone suggested, contact ARP... show them these pics in an email or something, maybe they'll send a new one ;)

Re: so I was putting my motor back togheter.....
 

obvious in the 4th and 1st picture.

In the 2nd and 3rd they both look like the threaded part is 1" long so not seeing the point ???

Crazy though

jesus, you can even see where the stretch is, near the shorter threaded end (right side, in first pic). see how much narrower it gets.

lifetime warranty?

bingo..........

Re: so I was putting my motor back togheter.....
 

thats why arp advise's not to go anymore than 10lbs past manufacturer specs and not to resuse them several times, ive seen some people runs them over and over and not have a problem, some people they stretched on the second setup with them
