Builders: ARP 3/8 Stretch Guage vs. Torque wrench

Re: Builders: ARP 3/8 Stretch Guage vs. Torque wrench
I'm pretty ---- about putting that ---- together, and I just use a torque wrench. but like jago said its very important to make sure the threads are super clean and a good coating of the correct lube applied. I use Gn moly paste which is basically arp lube.

I just explained the lube above, to give an accurate and predictable amount of torque caused by friction of the screw turning.
when you turn a screw, some of the force you are putting on the threads (incline plane) are acting against friction, some of the force is translated into holding power. (remember high school trig clas sin cos tan anyone?) The less friction, the more force is translating into holding force and the more accurate and reproducable reading you will get.
