Message	when you clean out the threads of holes, the arp studs and other bolts go in sooo nicely and smoothly, and you'll get proper torque specs. Use red loctite on rod studs. I shouldnt be giving advice though i havent started my rebuilt motor yet. --.scubasteve.-- (Rebuild started: April 2004. estimated completion: huhu pull my finger huhu huhu)
