Seems like the better choice regardless of how long the motor is sitting.

I bought a inch pound torque wrench today at harbor freight , so previous question is invalid.

This is the correct bolt right??

For the balancer yes.

I've never felt the need to spend the $$$ on ARP though. You'd have to do 5 cam swaps to cover the cost versus a stock TTY bolt.

Yeah it's certainly more expensive. But seems more straight forward to just torque to spec than the whole tighten and then extra 1/4 turn or whatever it is to stretch.

speaking of which, what is the torque?

240 lb/ft I believe.

Also, the stock bolt is very easy to torque. I just drop a line on the bolt head with a permanent marker and have at it.

It's not bad. Just make sure you got a good breaker bar.

I'm excited to watch this progress! Are you in the boston area?

I'm going to be in Mashpee for work tomorrow. I'll be down there a lot this summer.
