Ok,
Thanks in advance, Changed my oil seals on my push rod tubes, with help fro y’all. So, I go to put the rockers back on...and strip my studs trying to put18 ft lbs of torque on them! (As per my “ how to rebuild your type 4 “ book, by Tom Wilson. So far he hasn’t lied to me...so, this happens to 3! Damn, so I order them from AA. And, wouldn’t ya know it. Trying to tighten on the studs AGAIN! I strip em. So, now I’m pisssed....now...I found a blog in samba, saying that 18 is way too much, so....I ordered another set from AA and lo and behold they stripped again with only 11 ft lbs..... I’m not doing well here. Ready to scream...louder.... Has any one else had this? What am I doing wrong? Thank you again.... |
