Sits the same as it has been, just now getting the steering and suspension dialed in

My buddy got hit by lightning while he was in the shower, grabbed the handle just at the right time and knocked him on his ass, no injury though.Jesus hit by lightening!! Glad no one hurt.
Both, 110 was the spec on the obs idis, I like to retorque them to that spec to try and hold the gaskets
Interesting. Do you loosen them at all or just set the wrench to 110lbs and hit up each bolt?
Also, I might have missed it, but did you ever get the water/air intercooler installed?
I do not back them off, every one Ive ever retorqued has been well below 100ft lbs. Im sure the bolts stretch a good bit over the years and the gasket compresses as well, so its a good thing to do if youre pushing the limits on stock head bolts.
We havent done the intercooler, getting all the boost leaks accounted for first then we may consider the intercooler if it needs it.
Ill keep an eye out for them and let you know how they look. Since 89 had only non turbo 7.3s, your spec would be 100ft lbs, but the bolts used with the non turbo engines and the turbo engines are the same, so I have no issues torquing a non turbo engine to 110 ft lbs for the extra bit of insurance when running a turbo.Is 110 the spec for my 89' ? Might do this while my truck is apart. Already got most of the stuff pulled off for getting the injectors out. (you should get those today)
Good call! I’ll be sure to do that.Wes, on that wire you left for the eventual backup lights, cover the end with some liquid electrical tape, to keep the wire from corroding.
