From what I have heard other builders are doing the reuse on the mains, as you can not buy new. Nothing from ARP either.

Kevin,

You made me read to try to get smart about torque to yield and thank goodness for the internet there is so much information including video if one is interested. I have also ordered some engine blueprinting/building books. In addition, while looking for a good torque angle meter I think I will get the Torque Wrench, Electronic, TECHANGLE, Flex Ratchet, 12.5 to 250 ft. lbs., 1/2" drive

This thing is awesome and I think I'll get both the 1/2" and 3/8" drive.

Thanks again!
