May be a little long, but they're understandable with punctuation. And they're not "run-on" sentences.

 

The OP won't be posting here anymore. None of us have time for this kind of crap........

 

Well I'll apologize for calling him out in the first place, but you're right. If someone is coming here for help, or even to share their experiences, there should be at least a slight amount of understandable commentary so others can decipher what is going on so we can all be a part of it and either help or learn. And I can dish it out, but I can also take it... but getting so mad to tell everyone to go stick it isn't cool... he could have responded with something like "yeah sorry I had a few cold ones while I was working on my Jeep so I suppose my delivery wasn't the cleanest"..... Just saying.

 

Don't apologize!!
You told the truth!

 

Thread locked? Hahahaaha

 

No. Not that......

 

Ok then, so then does anyone know the limit of a stretched rod bolt?

 

IYAM, the OP messed up on his torque wrench. If the torque of a bolt is 33, it won't start stretching till it hits 33 so what he describes is not possible.

 

Yeah that's what I was kind of thinking ... They can't stretch when they're installed.... And I bet it takes a lot more then 33 ft lbs to stretch them....

 

Torque value = beginning of stretch, and the amount of stretch has it's own specification.

Knowing that, if you don't have a torque wrench handy if you're slick you can feel when the stretch begins and be somewhat confident that's it's close.

Probably not a good practice for head, rod and flywheel bolts, but hey, if you're stuck...

 

Just turn the wrench until you think it's tight, then say "click!"

 

I fully understand that a lot of people these days are poorly educated, and that's usually not completely their fault.


But I figure if someone is too LAZY to even TRY to communicate reasonably, I am not about to volunteer my time to help him.

 

Have you ever noticed how some of those posts in question have a zillion views and no responses? Nobody wants to bother.

 

Yes, and I bet real short views.
The folks who post like that are really shooting themselves in the foot.

 

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

What is a frz plug?
