When I put in my comp cam, that bolt took to much torque, but we got it. That was the hardest thing.

6th gear with the e brake pulled, a 2 foot breaker bar and a 3ft piece of pipe. Makes it easy

I stopped at about 220 and thought that was plenty tight.

I was told it may seem tight but it could go further I think I stoped at 220 then you have to use degrees.
