That all depends on so many things. Torquing a bolt is not very precise no matter what. If you have a hard washer, good lube, and clean bits the stretch you get from a given torque can be much greate

I know, you're absolutely right about sticking torque. Only problem is that some gaskets don't like to be relaxed. Fortunately no LBC that I know of, but if you work on German cars (my experience is

Actually, go to your local motorcycle dealer for the long bolt. Bike engines are fastened to the frame with through bolts--that's not a particularly long 10mm bolt. A voltmeter will give you more inf

Could be, but most of the time a lower or higher charging voltage is a better clue that something's amiss. Of course you have to interpret any gauge, and there's a lot of room for mistakes. That's wh

It's a lot easier to do an engine swap with an automatic, and it's easier on the rear end too. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6469& item=4542652767&rd=1&ssPageName=

There's always an argument for studs vs. bolts--a good one. You can be sure studs are fully engaged in all the available threads, and friction is more controlled for torquing. I've read dozens of rea
