Yeah, i am sorry i think i had been up for about 19 hours at that point. What i was trying to say was.

I put loctite on when i put it all back together. I had a vibration around 80mph. So, when i retighten the bolts, (not sure they were tight enough, i couldn't get my torque wrench on them because of space issues,) should i pull them out and reapply loctite to them or can i just tighten them as they stand?

Since that post: I went out, got the car as high as i could, and was able to get the torque wrench on them, I managed to torque them all to 85ft/lbs. (haynes said 75-90) I don't feel the vibration anymore, so i am leaving well enough alone.


You all have been great help. Thanx.

cool - glad to hear you got it up to par. i would just check the bolts in a little bit to ensure they arent backing out (always a good idea anyhow). guys who run hard (hit the strip, etc) have issues with the bolts backing out anyhow.

nice work.

Yup, they are just one more thing to add to the "check every oil change or three" list.

Next up, 3g alternator, and balljoints. Let's see if i can kill the freezer on this one.

Seriously, thanks all.
