With the 14mm bolts we can torque them up to 140nm. With continuing higher boost runs they do need to be serviced/retorqued. We actually dinted where the headbolt washer goes so it had to be repaired & bigger chromemoly washers were made for it.On another note with a car starting off with no engine or any form of driveline we now have it all complete. All that's left is to fit the new fittings on the cooling lines, make up new coldside piping & get the water/meth inj hooked up & then its go time. Should be running in the next few days 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
