Dood, Your starting to remind me of the guys at Rocky Mountain Engine Exchange. The ones who "torqued" their head bolts down with an impact wrench calling it good.
Hey Martin,
How about you stop the chest pounding about now.
These forums are for the friendly exchanges of information based of tested facts. We all know you have a calibrated arm that pulls 90 lbs without thinking about it, but your high and mighty attitude wears thin. Telling people to disregard manuals that are produced by engineers is just plain bad. You're going to steer to many people down the wrong road with that.
I for one would rather have facts then your opinion about methods.
You seem to troll for bickering rather then offer positive feedback.
No one here is looking to arm wrestle you for top dog.
I have a guy insulting me for agreeing with him, and you say I am trolling??? Okay. I didn't tell anyone they couldn't torque any bolt. I was just saying it is not necessary. Seeing as I do this every day, I would say none of my advice is bad. Sorry you feel otherwise.

I like that you also conveniently forgot to post this post that I was responding to.

When the manual says to torque a bolt and you say its not necessary then that is bad for business. There is nothing convenient about me to not continue the bickering, either by you or Scott. It was deliberate.
I will not use the words that Scott did, but to not torque a bolt to the prescribed number is never good business. There is a right way and a wrong way to do things and there isn't much room in the middle as I see it.
Do you want me to get you a list of all the bolts that have a torque spec on a Detroit Diesel Series 60, or on any random John Deere tractor??? You realize that every single bolt has a torque spec right? Look in the manual. There is a spec. Do you know how long it would take to fix something if you looked up every spec, and then torqued every fastener???

I have a 383 with a 4L80e/np241 and I only needed the flexplate torque in this thread, but thanks.
Oh, well then in that case, just zip them once with a 3/8" impact.

Or 65 ft lbs, as the manual says, so you don't take a chance on cracking a $1200 dollar crank. I'd rather you not post shade tree stuff to me.
My shade tree is pretty expensive.

Right on, thanks for the input, Martin.
Not to worry, the spec. IS in my manual.
Martin, i think it's time for you to step back and leave your suggestions of how to improperly tighten a bolt to yourself.
Tim asked for a torque spec and i gave him the correct spec. now it's time for everyone to move on to the next pissing match.

I'm am not the one causing a pissing match. I merely said it wasn't necessary to torque the bolts. People are getting mad and insulting me at me, not the other way around. Please find the post where I told someone that they should not torque it. I was just being helpful by explaining that this is not an instance where you have get out your torque wrench. By all means if you want to, and you have the spec and free time, go ahead. Isn't going to change anything.

I got nothing here.
Thanks for the help guys.
Welcome to the ignore list.

Welcome to the ignore list.
It's the one piece seal on a GMPP HT 383 motor. I hope it's 75 as well.
Go, on.

You are right, you didn't say "you should not torque" you said
Now i'm done with this thread. You obviously do things the WRONG WAY and i do them differently (the correct way).
So you use a torque wrench on every single fastener that has a torque spec? I am gonna go ahead and call you a liar if you answer yes to that.
