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.

 

if your sure it was a good rebuild then don't mess with it.

 

Agreed, leave them alone.

 

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

dont touch unless you plan to rebuild.. messin with it may "loosen" the static hold that the bolts have from breakin..
