Re-Torquing Bottom End Bolts/Studs I currently have my motor out of the car with a lot of the stuff off (out for powdercoat). The oil pan is off the motor.
I have a forged 355 shortblock that I built last summer, approx 3500 miles of hard run time.
My question is: Should I go through all the bolts of the bottom end (i.e. main studs and rod bolts) and re-torque them? Is this not a good idea to do. I just want to make sure everything is holding together and nothing has loosened up.
Any thoughts?
