Never said i installed them torqued into the block.
Just that i was told they should be loaded so the loctite doesnt get between the surfaces of the thread distributing the load when torqued later.
So installing the cap and preloading the stud while setting would be one way of doing it.
Enough of that im probably just overcomplicating things here...
