Okay, I torqued my main bearing caps down to 60 ft.lbs. as the moyer manual stated.
I striped a nut, and stud on the cap that has the thrust side bearing.
I go to the NAPA store and get a stud they had (which was a junk grade) and while torqueing things down again, I strip the other side, and nut.
it also stretched the ole cheap napa stud, and I aborted my mission.
I looked around on the Moyer site, and find flywheel studs, head studs, valve cover studs,
But,,,, No main bearing cap studs, or nuts.The nuts are those special self lockers..
I checked with Mcmaster Carr, and they don't have a stud with fine, and course threads in 7/16"
They do carry the nut. just under $5 a piece
Is 60 ft/lbs. right?
Thats alot for a 7/16 unless it's a grade 8 which is suppose to take like 79lbs.
Does anyone sell the studs, and nuts for main bearing caps?
I was using plasti-gauge trying to check my clearances getting ready to assemble, and now the only thing I need to go further is 2 studs, and 2 nuts.
