Excellent info and news!
I spend $32 on Final Charge full concentrate at O’Reilly and it’ll be good to get the same thing at below half price!
Especially since I need to re-do my head gaskets and flush the cooling system all over again.

Why do you think the first went sideways?

I put a properly calibrated torque wrench to it last July while I had the injectors out and found quite a few inconsistent values. 180 ft/lbs here, 200 ft/lbs there, and a few were close to the 210 ft/lb spec, but it was all over the place, so now it has to be redone.
Once I get the cash and parts together, I’m taking it to a buddy’s shop, pulling the engine, and doing it myself, so I know everything is done correctly and to my satisfaction.

I liked your other reply better, lol
It perfectly explains why Ford uses that method compared to the torque spec method.
I wish ARP offered something like that to make 100% certain you reached the correct and accurate torque on every stud every time.
I'll PM you, but back on topic...

I delete a lot of things I’ve written after 5 minutes of reflection, my rambling can be tedious. Thought I cleared it before anyone saw it.
It’s midnight, I leave with this. Having a career in friction to me this is important. These guys make squirt washers.
