Are the torque specs for forged rods and PMRs the same? I can find nothing official except stage 1 is 53 and stage 2 is 80ft lbs.
Also - ARP says 125 on the mains with their lube. Machine shop got the pickup stud backward so I had to swap sides. Found that they were easier to loosen than I expected - checked a couple other studs and they were at 96 (stage 2 for stock) Spoke to machine show and they told me after calling ARP - they say 100. Yes, the mains were honed.
ugh.
