    Just letting you know not to always go by torq-wrench. Bolt stretch guage will always be used from now on. Hope this pic. helps remind everyone.

    No build thread, but rod bolt backed out on dyno after break-in, was on 3rd pull when this happened. N/A 680-625 @ crank on 2nd pull with 31* timing. SBC 421. Didn't even get to put any timing in it to see what she had.
