1. Use ARP Moly Assembly Lubricant to lubricate the threads of the bolt.

2. We recommend using the STRETCH method for torquing bolts. Follow instructions for using a stretch gauge. Stretch bolts to .0062" .0066"

3. If you do not have a stretch gauge, follow these steps using the ARP Moly assembly lube. After the rods are installed into the motor:
a. Torque bolts to 40ft.lbs.
b. Loosen the bolts & torque to 40ft.lbs. again.
c. Loosen the bolts & torque to 40ft.lbs. a third and final time.

4. A log should be kept on the original non-torqued length of each bolt. Bolts that have any permanent deformation or have increased in non-torqued length should be replaced.
