what is you need??

[vintagespin]

I was thinking.... Can we make this a sticky, format it a little better (organize it), and add fluid amounts (engine oil, diff oils, power steering, etc)? This could be a great resource.

[Gallep]

I never torqued them, it's hard to get a torque wrench on some of them with the manifold I have....Put them by hand, use the copper nuts that have a lock, that is enough, I never had them come loose

[lunamarA4]

do these differ when using ARP bolts?

[20vturbo]
