RE: K Member Torque Spec
Welp, kinda neglected to update you guys
But I'm keeping my northeast guys up to date.
Here's whats happened so far:
Ripped old engine out, currently sitting on the stand.
Ripped out old K-member sitting in garage.
Plopped in my new Tubular K-Member, trying to figure out what the hell the directions want me to grind.
I see no where possible where the a-arm could possibly rub as it clearly states it should.
Even tested it too, moving the arm up and down as if it were being compressed/extended.
Took forever to get the bolts off the lower control arm itself, guess they were rusted a bit in the sleeve theyre in in the bushing.
Started doing the k-member crap last night and hopefully finishing today.
As I said before those bolts were insane...
As for the engine situation.
Was supposed to get the engine Mid April, but engine builder said hes still waiting on the heads.
He'd call them every now and then and theyd tell him their en route.
But called him monday basically saying wtf, where are my heads, wheres my engine?
So he called AFR and talked to the manager there.
He said they had a hold on his account for some odd reason, so that's been supposedly cleared up and heads should be here thursday.
And engine completed friday.
Hope to get the engine in and car running by the weekend(working both days so minimal time)
And get it tuned/realigned on monday.
And be race ready for wednesday!
Just what I'd LIKE to happen.

Can't use a think here, could ya check if you have a manual please?
Edit: and there are 4 bolts on each side, two sets.
Need the specs on both sets.
