Poll: Torque or no torque?
I've got a small block on my engine stand. It has roughly 10K on a pro rebuild and I'm fixing to bolt on an Edelbrock high rise and carb and add a set of headers. I'm going to keep the stock cam (flat tappet Hyd). My Q. is, while I have the pan off, Do you think it would be a good idea to recheck the torque on the rods and main caps, or just leave them alone? It's a 4 bolt main and I plan to keep it under 5k rpm.

Agreed, leave them alone.

Re: Poll: Torque or no torque?
That's what I was thinking. I was so lucky to find the builders tag on the block and was able to find them on the web. I found out everthing that had been done to it. Thanks
