I just tried to get mine as close to 240 as possible and called it good.

240 is the spec of the stock OLD bolt, before you torque and stretch a new one.
i just did this sunday,and found one post where it was 200.... and another at 150.
i snugged it to 150.... then gave it a lil more.
i doubt its comming off.
good luck.

yeah i knwo the torque for the stock one is use the old one and put it at 240, put the new one in at 37 and then turn it 140 deg. never read anything aobut the arp though

arp has a torque spec, not torque to yield.
ive seen a few posts of people breaking them, or stripping out the crank trying to use stock specs with the ARP bolt.

yeah i know it, just found a post that said 194 lbs if u use locktite and 247 otherwise. its pushing it though, that damn bolt comes really close to bottoming out

Call the ARP tech line for the correct spec because they generally offer 2 torque specs; a higher one when the threads are lubed with 30W oil and a lower one when using their own moly lube (recommended). They should have included it with the bolt.

I'm w/ drkphx. I called arp when I did mine. Can't remember what it was exactly though. There was one spec w/ arp moly lube, another w/ 30w oil and another w/ locktite. They were all in the 230-245 range.

i just read a post from a guy that called the other day and they said loctite 194, but ill call to be sure

I called the other day and the lady said 196 with moly lube between bolt head and washer and 247 with 30wt oil. So I think 200 is a good number to shoot for no matter what.

thanks for the info! so you have to put some sort of lube on the washer on the bolt head side, anything about loctite? andwhat is moly lube exactly?

Grimes

iTrader: (3)

you can use loctite if you want. Moly lube is just a type of assembly lube; a kind of grease. Yeah, you can use either moly or oil between the washer and bolt head, and shoot for 196 or 247... btw, I had a typo there before, edited my first post.
