I guess I need ti get under mine before I leave. I can not remember how I
torque the bolts when I installed them. I guess I have over 10k on them
since i installed them when I rebuilt the engine. I used the same bolts
that came off when I installed them. So far lucky on one thing but I am
beginning sure have lots of other problems since I changed rebuilt an
engine and changed it. Bad valve jobs (valve guides were bad and seat was
almost non existing), cracked head, leaking oil from intake manifold
(changed Head gasket while on the road) just to name a few.

So I better check the bolts and change them when I get home. I am not sure
how tight I should torque them at this point. I was thinking of checking
them to about 40 ft-lb and if they don't move leave them until I get home.
Any suggestions?
