A1 is what elite sold till a1 closed. Yes 3 steps to 190ftlbs. Think you loosen and tighten 3 times. Lube is Detroit Diesel international compound #2.

Might want to consider stepping them up a little over 190. JMO.

Im not really looking to start a pissing match with this. But my 08 has 5-6K miles and is puking. Built by elite, new heads, oem gaskets, and yada....yada....

I have talked to several people (very familiar with these studs) that suggested that when redone they would bump the final tq and have had good luck.

Take it for what its worth.

I had a very simular situation. OEM Gaskets, new heads 'flat' ect tq to 190 started puking around the 8k mark.
Redid it made the final tq number 250 ft-lbs been trouble free for 30k hard miles.
