    Hi all,

    I have a old stage 3 Keith Black wet block with a set of BAE fuel Heads. i was tourqueing them up last night at 100 lbs on the lowers and 120 on the stands and had one pull on me. I think that thread was a bit sus anyway but, Do those torques sound good ?

    Cheers
    Shannon

    Sounds like too much torque. I had the same block and only torqued to 95 on stands and lowers, 45 on the insides, as per instructions from previous owner.

    if they were 1/2 all the way in to the block, you would have been fine at 90
