| Over-tourqued my intake bolt |
| By Travis - 07/10/2001 5:57:24 PM; IP 216.224.154.34 |
| This is a funny story for 'yall. I have a 360 cid stock, with the exception of an edelbrock performer (not rpm) intake, holley 600cfm vac secondaries, and an MSD6al box. Anyhow the other day I was re-sealing my intake and I decided to do the older brother thing by handing my 19 year old brother the torque wrench. Well, he ignored the clicking of the torque setting, ultimately ripping a small chunk of iron surrounding the threaded intake bolt hole. I have been told that I may be able to get it welded back. I am affraid to tap deeper into my head. Could I get away without using that bolt or would it warp my intake? Any answers from an older, wiser, FE gearhead would be much appreciated. |
