So I set it to 100 and hit all the nuts. I’m going to buy another torque wrench and check the 100 ft lb they are set too. Then go to 115. Man 115 is a lot but that’s the spec.
Hmmm...doesn’t ARP specify the torque settings using their own thread lube? If you use plain old motor oil, the specs are not the same if memory serves.
