Hey my comments are not a dig on ARP bolts. They are a very good bolt. When I was swapping out a yblock on my 57 I took an idea of using grade 8 bolts from the hardware store to put in the clutchplate. I shortly came to my senses and bought some ARP shouldered flywheel bolts. No I'm not concerned about using ford bolts or other suppliers, within reason.

But to say you can always torque within 5lbs is interesting. My last tourque wrench was 300$ 100-300# Changed out my brothers new truck wheel bearings.
