Re: Thread chasing

[Donnie Schanz Jr <dcs426@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I assumed he was talking the blind holes in the heads. As for the torquing 
the bolts, you should always use oil or grease. A dry hole will give false 
torque specs 90 % of the time. Torque them and back off and retorque. An 
intake is not super criticle. Heads, caps,rods, that when it gets real 
serious.
Good advise though.
