[Fot] Carrillo TR3-4 rods torquing

[Spitfire Racing]

Typically Carillo rods have the bolts torque based on stretch. At least in
Spitfires that's the way it is. Had to buy another gadget but all went well
after a little sweat and nerves. I suggest you contact Carillo, their tech
guys are real helpful and there's probably no better resource for your
question. I bought the stretch gauge at Summit Racing. I can send a picture
if you need and probably their part number.

Amici ! Currently building a TR3/4 engine with Carrillo rods. 

The set came with the stock Carrillo bolts (called by them WMC/H11) and the
tech sheet says they must be torqued max 40lbs.

While the stock rods and bolts usually are torqued at 60 lbs.

So should I torque the Carrillos at 40 or 60 lbs then ?

Amici, thank you for your very valuable input (as always)!

Cheers

Alex
