That's awesome! May I use this image in future posts please?

Just call me...


As for injectors, bigger is always better.

 

You have my seal of approval.

 

Reading over the International manual, it looks like they specify 95ft-lb for the bearing cap bolts (oil coated if re-using). Thing is a class 10.9 fastener for that size is notated in the manual as 79ft-lb (+/- 10%). Has me wondering if the bearing cap bolts and connecting rod bolts are reusable? If they are tightened that much have they permanently stretched?

 

I wouldn't reuse any engine internal bolts.

 

I’m with FinnishStroker on this one. Especially the fasteners on the bits that spin or reciprocate.

 

I figured it was cause he torques everything to yield

 

That’s what happens when you use Dugga Duggas instead of Ugga Duggas.

 

Replace everything with ARP and build for 1000 HP.

 

When Swamp's did your build...they did this?

 

They sure did. All fasteners were replaced.

 

To think what might have happened if they had re-used the timing cover mounting bolts

 

So that's how they get 15k..

 

I know, right? They might have had to mill the front cover down by .002.

Don't remind me.

 

Too soon, too soon.

 

Rod bolt kit is on indefinite backorder, and the stock bolts are discontinued so I might have to re-use the rod bolts. @Bitterroot Diesel Don't suppose you have any floating around your shop?
