I was wondering if the rod bolts for the arps can be stretched in the block.the vice i have will not allow me to torque them to 73 ft lbs. because it just wont hold it...i was wondering if i can install my rods and pistons and torque them in the block to stretch the bolts. I believe my paper says they have to be torqued three times to get the correct amount of stretch. I have the 7/16 arp rod bolts and they require 73 ft. bls. Any suggestions?
