And given your huge wealth of experience and knowledge on the subject what would you torque them to?
(Bit of a clue xx diameter xx thread pitch requires xx torque for xx stretch this doesn't change)
Nick: Interesting info thanks!
(I always thought it was the other way around when it was working you got the spike @ 4K but it makes more sense that Toyota did it to remove the spike)
Mr: At sustained high rpm springs can run hot enough to glow so the very best metallurgy is required as well as extreme care in assembly as the slightest mark on a spring will become a failure point.
I had my Ferrea's Cryo treated for this build, I really wouldn't risk a single spring in this...
JJ: Some people seem to think "engineering" is wandering around their basement playing with their model railroad wearing a silly hat and making choochooo noises ;)
To keep this post from being OT yep no way known are the head bolts TTY or even close to it when torqued correctly.
John:
3.3L I-6
4.2L V8
5.0L V8
350 SBC ;)
Mine had the 5.0L but I ended up swapping in a built 327 then the next one I bought had a 350 which eventually got swapped out for a Crower injected 427.
