Message: [QUOTE="Mdub707, post: 907444, member: 107"] I'm sure you're right. There are probably a bunch of guys who are none the wiser. Ignorance is bliss in this case LOL I'm sure ARP has some sort of safety margin built in. I know for the product line I work in we use a 0.4 MOS for commercial applications and 1.0 MOS for space/flight/loss of life. The torque wrench in itself is just not the most accurate way. This is exactly why my company uses hydraulic tensioners. We just calculate the stretch needed to get a certain clamping force and then hydraulically stretch the stud to where we want it. No need to worry about torque scatter etc. Just hit a button and go. In theory you could easily calculate the stretch needed and how many turns needed to do that using the TPI of the stud. It would be interesting to try that out. Figure out the math, torque a set of studs down using the angle needed and calculate the height. If you had a good solid foundation to rest a gauge you could measure the difference in height of the stud I'm sure. I would really like to see length measurements of the studs before and after a crazy high torque, or after head gaskets were blown on one of these. Oh how I wish these were 6 bolts per cylinder design.... :bowfast: [/QUOTE]
