Per ARP the rating is 75% of the yield of said bolt or stud meaning studs with a torque rating of 85 ft.lbs. is actually 75% of full yield. Although this gives some stretch flexibility couldn't this also be a thorn in the side? My problem with the steel shim gaskets and need for a retorque could have some merit here.
Roughly 114 ft.lbs. would put them at 100% yield. Could it be since most of us follow the mfg. specs and torque to 85 ft.lbs. that we are actually giving some room for spring-back? This is good in a way as a safety valve to keep you from hurting a piston or ring by letting the heads lift but for max power without problems wouldn't going to 90%-95% put you closer to the stud yield and make the clamping force be more rigid? I know it would be taxing the studs some but what doesn't get stressed dunno
This would put it at 105-110 ft.lbs. Any dangers here?
