[QUOTE="Redneckbmxer24, post: 16467913, member: 34905"] Ok so since the answers seemed to be all over the place and I had some more questions I called ATI and spoke to them who also referred me to Tim at MPR race engines, and I spoke to ARP today as well. My question for ATI was if they had a recommendation on torque with an ARP bolt and also regarding the use of a washer aswell as loctite. They had no data on torque other than the factory Ford bolt (they referred me to Tim at MPR for that) but they said absolutely DO NOT use the little washer that the ARP/Lethal bolt is supplied with, and agreed with something I had read about the strength of the factory washer not being appropriate for the ARP bolt either. They recommended red loctite. So I spoke to Tim at MPR. He was very knowledgable and has used this bolt many many times on these motors. He said 100ft lbs for the torque. He also said use a ARP AUW195 washer which is their internal number for the ARP 200-8540 washer. He said absolutely DO NOT use the factory washer for this application or the small one. He said he does not use loctite but didn't say not to. So when I couldn't find the washer in stock anywhere to order I called ARP back this morning to see if it was available and if I could order direct. It was in stock and they let me order from them. I asked a few other questions too. I told the guy the application and the bolt that lethal sells (comes in a pack of 5) and he looked it up and told me the max torque on that bolt is 112 ft lbs using their assembly lube. A lubed bolt is a lubed bolt for the purpose of torque though. He recommended using their ultra torque lube between the bolt head and washer but leave the washer to balancer side dry. He said lube or loctite on the threads was fine. ARP recommended blue over red just for ease of removal but I don't think blue is going to hold up well enough to the heat to do anything. So I've got the bolt sitting here, a 200-8540 washer ordered along with a 1.69oz tube of the ARP ultra torque lube. I'm going to clean and degrease the threads on the bolt and in the crank shaft as well as the surface of the balancer, I'm going to apply red loctite on the threads, ARP lube between the bolt and washer and torque it to 105 ftlbs.
