Important Notes
- Torque-to-yield (TTY) fasteners are generally not reusable once loosened.
- These specs are intended for OEM-style fasteners. Aftermarket fasteners (ARP, etc.) may require different lube and torque values.
- Always verify for your exact model year, casting, and service procedure before final assembly.
